I could be wrong as I thought only the CL series had the upswept exhaust The "CL" designation in Honda's lineup historically stood for "Scrambler," indicating an off-road-styled street bike. These motorcycles were designed for better ground clearance with their signature high-mounted, upswept exhausts.
Funny thing, most sites will show all the CL bikes except the CL 360... and yet, Produced from 1974 to 1976, the CL360 was essentially the off-road-oriented variant of the parallel CB360 street bike, sharing the same 356cc air-cooled parallel-twin engine (producing ~34 hp) and six-speed transmission but with scrambler-specific features like high-mounted upswept exhaust pipes, knobby tires, a taller rear fender, and braced handlebars for better dirt capability.
CL72 Scrambler (1962–1965): Considered the first factory-produced Scrambler, the CL72 featured upswept twin pipes on the left-hand side.
CL77 Scrambler (1965–1968): A larger 305cc version of the CL72, the CL77 is known for its classic scrambler look, including high-mounted exhaust pipes.
CL175 (1968–1973): This 175cc twin was a popular model in the CL lineup and featured the series' characteristic upswept exhaust.
CL350 (1968–1973): One of the most recognizable and popular scramblers, the CL350 had high-mounted pipes that exited on the left side of the bike.
CL450 (1968–1974): Often called the "Scrambler 450," this was the largest-displacement twin in the classic CL series.
CL200 (1973–1976): A smaller-displacement version that, like its predecessors, came with an upswept exhaust system.
