VEHICLE OVERVIEW:
If you are looking for an exceptionally clean, highly collectible vintage Japanese dual-sport, this 1971 Honda SL175 is a true head-turner. Featuring its original twin-cylinder engine and a stunning professional repaint matching the original factory Candy Ruby Red finish, this single-owner classic has been maintained with care and was recently brought into Sam's Cycle Service for a bumper-to-bumper mechanical revival.
The engine starts right up, holds fantastic compression, and runs great. Tires are in solid shape, and all major mechanical systems have been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and tuned by our master technicians. It combines refreshed classic looks with genuine 1970s character, making it an incredible display piece or an ideal weekend runner.
If you are in California then I will also collect the tax of about 7.75% (depending on your City rate) plus a documentation processing charge of $80.00. Plus the standard DMV registration transfer and title fees of $179.00. This will bring it current through October 22/2027.
My buyers (you) never pay registration penalties.
There are no hidden or tack on mystery fees ever!
