The Bolesworth Castle October 2023 Classic & Performance Car Auction
1968 Honda CB77
***NO RESERVE*** Late-production, sympathetically restored 'Superhawk'
Registration - LSM 754F
Chassis No - 103068
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - 20,054
We understand that this tidy CB77 was lovingly restored by the vendor’s late father and has spent the last few years slumbering in its owner’s living room, which has helped to keep the total indicated mileage down to a very reasonable 20,054. The vendor currently classes the Honda’s cycle parts as ‘excellent’, the twin-cylinder engine, four-speed gearbox and brightwork as ‘good’, and the silver and red paintwork and suspension as ‘average’. Renowned for its reliability, the CB77 (aka Super Hawk) was in production from 1961 to 1968. Its tubular steel frame was powered by a SOHC air-cooled parallel twin-cylinder powerplant of 305cc, whose output of 28bhp was sufficient to propel the machine to a top speed just shy of 105mph. The model was immortalised by none other than the ‘King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’, Elvis Presley, who rode a CB77 in the 1964 movie Roustabout.
