Firstly, Honda is among the manufacturers that like to share its platform across various models.
For example, the CB500X, CBR500R, and CB500F share the same 500cc parallel-twin engine yet offer entirely different dynamics.
However, among those three models, Honda could be planning to expand the range by introducing a scrambler-style motorcycle, as reported by Autoby.
While there are zero words regarding the claimed motorcycle, Autoby suggests that a CL250 and CL500 scrambler is in the works.
Japanese render artist Shinji Miyakubo also came up with CG renders of the CL250 and CL500 scrambler.
While one could easily mistake the high mounted pipe shown as inspiration from Triumph’s Scrambler range, it is actually a design inspired by the 1965 Honda CL72.
The reimagined CL250 is fitted with all the necessary elements, including a flat saddle, black fork gaiters, high-mounted exhaust pipe and larger alloy wheels.
The visual cues on the CL500 are also visibly similar; however, it gets a twin mounted exhaust in place of the single unit on the CL250.
Interestingly, Autoby claimed that the CL250 could get an official debut at the end of 2022, whereas the CL500 to follow in 2023. A pretty bold claim, eh?
