Introduced during 1964 the Honda CB160's single over head cam parallel twin cylinder produced a claimed 16 bhp at 10,000rpm, which combined with a four speed gearbox and a dry weight of 246lbs to endow the machine with a top speed of over 75 mph. Of equal significance was the fact that the engine, despite its high revving nature, was flexible in use. The frame benefited from the Honda's experience with their CR93 racing machine with which it shared a similar design. Braking was provided by a twin leading shoe unit at the front end complimented by a single leading shoe unit at the rear.

The example offered is attractively presented with red and silver paintwork. It is described as being in good condition both mechanically and cosmetically and displays only 2303 miles on the odometer. It is offered with the paperwork necessary to register the machine in the UK.
