With an overhead-camshaft engine, electric starter, rev counter and twin-leading-shoe front brake, Honda's CB twins boasted a specification unmatched by any of their rivals. They were no slouches either: producing 28.5bhp at 9,000rpm and weighing just 350lb, the CB77 possessed an excellent power-to-weight ratio endowing it with a level of performance equal to that of most British 500s. The model is now one of the most sought after of early Japanese classics.
A wonderful barn find displaying a total of 34,676 miles on the odometer, this CB77 is potentially a most rewarding restoration project. (The engine turns over.) It is not known when the elderly vendor acquired the Honda. Carrying the registration 'HUT 407D', the machine comes with a (part) old V5 document in the name of the previous owner, who acquired it in 1981; however, the frame number ('CB77-1005675') listed therein differs from that on the machine ('CB77-1003406'), though the engine number matches that on the V5. It would appear that this CB77 either had a frame change or this is a clerical error. Accordingly, the machine is offered unregistered and without a valid registration document, and is sold strictly as viewed. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding. The successful purchaser will be responsible for registering this machine with the DVLA.
