CB 77 305cc
rescued from Orkney...
...and painstakingly rebuilt
Keith's Glorious CB 77
previously a much neglected bike...
now in a good home
(Super Hawk)
CB 77 1964
305cc OHC Twin
4 Speed Gearbox
Owned and restored by Keith Roberts
A complete engine strip with crankshaft rebuild was needed
This bike was sold when new in the Gloucestershire area in October 1964
Keith brought it back from Keighley, Yorkshire in September 2021 where the previous owner had been doing some restoration work over a 2 year period
Before that it had languished - neglected - on the Isle of Orkney
The bike needed a complete engine strip to sort out some issues, including having the crankshaft rebuilt by the genius that is Mr. Graham Curtis 😇 . Then there were gear selecting issues, which proved simple when the missing selector rollers were installed...
'You can learn something every day with these wonderful Hondas!'
No wonder the British Bike Industry was left floundering!
A True Honda Survivor
I rode the CB77 for the first time in June 2022 - and WOW ! - what a bike...
