I managed to discover this channel but how does a video with this high quality only have 4K views. This channel is super professional.
When I was 17 I had a CL-175 which is essentially a CB with upswept exhaust pipes. I absolutely loved that bike. It would be cool to have it now for around town. Nice, well done video.
Likewise when I was 17 I had the same bike. I abused the crap out of that thing and it never failed. I exceeded the red line of 10500 rpm many times. I wish I still had it.
I had a gold Honda cl175 when I was a kid...my teens.. I rode the wheels off it..
Im 54 now and I have a blue 71 Honda CB 175... So cool
Loved this bike back in the day, it was only little but it was a great all rounder.
I had the same bike in the same colour scheme as my first bike... i wish i still had it... i must say it never ran well for prolonged periods of time... always needed fixing! Great video.
I feel such a sense of nostalgia when I look at a 70s Honda because I grew up in the 70s and my first real motorcycle was a Honda 185 TwinStar I loved that little bike and I wrote it all over the state of Florida on my learner's permit. I rode the bike into the Honda shop because it was acting funny and when they tore the top-end off both of the Piston fell into and the Rings were holding them together. If they hadn't seen me ride the bike into the shop they would have bet there would not have been enough compression to even start it. That shows you the quality of a Honda motorcycle.
My first bike was a CB 175 in the same colours, never let me down but would never do more than 65 MPH. My mate on his 1970 CD used to burn me off all the time!
Great bike, great story. Great video. I agree with you on there being something about bike you just can't get with a car. Also the part when you talk about building a bond with your bike through hard work and time is so true, loved the video.
James Mata thanks a lot James. Glad you enjoyed it.
The 175 is a fantastic bike. Thanks for the video.
Nathan Skinner no problems. Thanks for stopping by!
I just got the same bike in blue from a motorcycle collector guy , only 2000 miles on it spotless. It was given to me as a gift for helping out my friend cleaning his house after hurricane Ida hit
I’m ready to take if for a ride!
By the way Beautiful bike fella
Enjoy
Love these Honda twins. No balance chains or cams to worry about, just simple high revving lightweight 4-stroke. I started riding a CD175 in the eighties, switched to a CB175 now I'm 55, I have an SL175.
Beautiful bike, thanks for uploading.
As an owner of a 1972 cb 175 I can agree about the bond and necessary pre ride preparation to make sure it's safe as in loose hardware or even about the oil level or tire pressure. Mine is all café racer inspired build so I especially have to do bolt check beforehand. They become like a problematic teen you just love for their rebellious ways. Screamers for sure when tuned properly with jets and pod filters and exhaust. Working on getting an electronic ignition to get away from points. Love the video.
Killer bike, I am looking into one right now!
Feelings are mesmerizing😍
wow great vid and quality
When I was a kid in the late 70s I had a gold Honda cl 175 scrambler... I rode the wheels off it... I'm 53 now ,and I have a 72 cb175..
Great starter bike. Had a K6 back in 73. Turquoise and black.
1 thing that i say when i saw this video is
“I need to modified my lil honda to be like that”
There's a cl175 for sale from 1972 for £1200, after watching your video I might go for it:)
Love the bike, dude. Just picked up a 1973 CB175 and can't wait to fix it up.
Nice dude, you'll have lots of fun with that. Send us some pics when you're done adding your personal touches.
Funny thing, about a month ago I also bought that same bike (‘73 175), it’s been sitting in an Alaskan barn since ‘80. Good luck with your rebuild bro!
Only a single word "gorgeous". The bike & you as well.
She sounds like hell... The feeling you have on a bike is... freedom to the heart if I may describe it😅. Due to laws putting modified exhaust here is expensively punished. I miss how my cg125 sounds and responds😢... stock exhaust are not the same
Very good video, amazing story, witch remembers me Petrolicious Channel 👍👍👍
Check out Common Motor Collective. Brendan and Caleb will have all of the parts and information you need to keep that bike in tip top shape.
Love the video. Bring it back to the basics. What gloves are those? they look very nice.
How does a channel with such a well done video only have 377 subs? You just got a new one!
We like to think of it as an exclusive members' club
I love that nobody has disliked the video
😍
3:40 and this is when I realized why I like my ranger so much. Used and abused for the last 20 years might give me absolute hell one week and the next be the most reliable vehicle in the lot besides my newer mustang
They have a personality you grow to like. I see my ranger as a old fucker that still acts young. Having fun but the signs of age are showing and the end is near. My ol ranger is knocking real bad but he’s done everything Iv asked of it. I’ll rebuild it better he definitely deserves a lot more cylinders
I was curious if you could tell me what suspension you installed in the bike? I just found a cb175 and was really liking the look of yours. Thanks!
Dude, I recognise precisely where you rode your CB175 in this video because I have been riding my recently recommissioned CB175 rat bike (which I have a very strong bond with) on the same roads. Perfect for it, aren't they?
We shall keep an eye out for you man. Keep enjoying that bike!
The exhaust sounds pretty nice, did he just have the muffler chopped or is it something else?
Cool bike. Can you tell me what tires you are running? I would like to pick up a set for mine which will see mainly dirt roads. Thank you
What tires did you use? I have a cl 175 myself and want to get tires like those
What kind of mufflers are those I have a cb175 also and I love the look and sound of those
Mufflers are some pretty standard end cans from the internet. I bought two and stacked them with a home-made bracket. The downpipes are custom made by a local steel worker.
Mind if I ask what make/model handlebars those are? Been looking for something exactly that shape and size for my CB175 and it's tough to pinpoint what you have there!
I just picked up a CB175, 1973. 2200 original miles, sat for 3 years, put in some fresh gas and have been ripping around all week. Question for you : what tires are those? trying to find some decent all terrain tires for mine now... thanks!
me too, ever figure it out?
nice bike, nice video. What tires are those?
Cheap eBay tires. They've gone now for much better quality rubber
just picked up a 69 175cc motor was shot I thought I would save it but I'm turning it into electric
How much does it cost to restore one of these?
At least an entire soul
Bro can u send me detail of ur modification?
What do you want to know dude and we can try to answers your Qs as best we can.
@@FlatOutMagazineTV i would like to know what is the difference with the original version
@@Abby-is7ul Where do we begin? Custom made exhaust pipes, chunky tyres, new motocross bars, flat leather seat, handmade aluminium mudguards (front and back), handmade rear light bracket, new front lamp with scrambler cover. Replaced footpegs. Spray-painted engine and rims lots of little cosmetic touches (new cable covers, manifold clamps ). We also had to completely overhaul most of the engine with OEM or replacement parts. It still runs pretty crappy. The important thing is we didn't cut anything up, so it could be put back to its original state if we wanted to.
@@FlatOutMagazineTV would u like to dm me ur email for further question?
@@Abby-is7ul You know where to get us. visit wwww.flatoutmag.co.uk for all the details. Thanks
You ruined the looks with the ugly aftermarket parts
What aftermarket parts? The grips, the handlebars, the mufflers, the back fender, the headlight cage, the seat? Honestly the only add-on that changed the aesthetic might be the seat and the custom exhaust and both look pretty clean to me. Mostly everything looks fairly stock to me. Stop being a hater Jared and appreciate a video of an old bike that’s still on the road because of motorcycle enthusiasts like yourself.
I have to admit, I prefer the standard look too, but who am I to criticise someone who rescued a classic?
