. It was similar to the CB200 except the exhaust system of the Scrambler was mounted above the gearbox with both pipes on the left side of the bike, whereas on the CB200 it was mounted under the transmission gearbox on both sides of the bike. The CL exhaust pipe and heat shield were chrome. Other differences include a smaller tank than the CB200, a larger seat, braced handlebars, and different paint schemes. The CL200 was only offered in Candy Riviera Blue. The 1974 CL200 marked the end of the evolution of the smaller Honda twin scramblers that began with the CL160 in 1965. As many other motorcycles were ever increasing in size, the 1974 CL200 was introduced and marked the end of the line as it was not continued into a second year.
