Honda's 250cc CL72 and the 305cc CL77 big brother sold nearly 90,000 units during the bike boom of the 1960s
Most Scramblers featured a 180 degree crankshaft but about 110 CL72s (250cc) were imported with 360 degree cranks (both pistons rising and falling in unison) along with different gear ratios
Most of the frames were painted black but some were delivered with bright red frames (very rare) that were quickly painted black by dealers
The Honda Scramblers were fun to drive, reliable, good for commuting and good for weekend fun both on and off road
The CL72 introduced Honda's first full cradle tubular steel frame
