Honda promo leaflet April 1972

As oddjob says you can see what looks to be 500 Four on the side panel.

The image could been "comped " together in printing layout.  Have a look at the detail on the 175 around the rear mudflap and light assembly,  they've drawn in edges contrast to define it from the grass background.

Also look at the bottom arc of the 175 rear tire and the corresponding area of the 250 front,  both have been painted in with black to raise the detail appearance. Not criticism,  just what happened before photoshop type correction. Would have been completed by the layout artist.

Interesting historical image of the models, good find Julie.

I think Oddjob is correct ..if you blow up the image you can just make out a 500 badge.

Laverda Dave:
What a great find, thanks for posting Julie. Is that CB175 for sale? 🤔

Any newbies here may not have seen this thread from a couple of years ago.

OMG....that reminds me...somewhere in the loft I still have the full 1978( I think ) honda range poster .....with the CBX1000 on the front.

Dad was trying to get back into bikes, and wandering the local dealers trying to understand disc brakes, overhead cams, and things that weren't Triumphs...and I saw a CBX1000 .... That's the kind of thing that affects a 10 year old and pretty much ensured I was going to be a biker. I had to be dragged away, but got the brochures and poster before I left.

Was an interesting time. Dad managed to avoid buying an XS250 ( the dealer had a room full he couldn't shift at big discounts ) and ended up with a 3TA .... painted metallic green. It's since been restored and he still has it.
