Honda CL70

The Honda CL70 Scrambler was a small motorcycle with a 72 cc four-stroke engine, a four-speed manual gearbox^[1] and a pressed steel frame. It was built by Honda between 1969 and 1973. It essentially replaced the Honda CL90. It was a larger-engined version of the CL50, which had been introduced two years earlier.^[2] As a scrambler, it had a high-mount exhaust and a high rear fender. This allowed the look, though not really the capability, of extended off-road capability, before real dual-sport motorcycles were available.
