1965 Honda CB77 Superhawk

My 1965 CB77. Might be the most beautiful thing next to Sarah Palin. Runs perfect and handles like a Superhawk should. And no its not for sale. Filmed with my Canon 5d mark ii with a 50mm lens.

nice i just got a 65 last year, just got it running last week, just went on my first group ride yesterday. SOOO in love.

[@paulposey1162]

My first motorcycle when I was in the Army. I put scrambler Handel bars and chrome front frnder. Road it in SC, GA, nC and Texas never had a problem, great bike.

[@naotoando3249]

CB72, CB77...popular in JP too. too expensive to buy. now there are a lot of super bike here but these CB-sound is the one of great sound that makes me krazy. and i feel emotional. id like to come back to 1950'~60' once.

[@user-ho4nw5sf3w]

My first street legal bike 1967. Keep the shiney side up The Hornet

[@tomshiba51]

Both of my Honda's were from the 70's. Your bike inspires me to find an earlier Honda. Nice bike.

[@Nefaeran]

I've been (re)reading Pirsig's 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' and I believe that is the bike he rides in the book. Awesome video, great bike. Well done!

[@CatHostage]

Good to know i wasn’t the only one who was here because of that

[@NPMCaptain]

Awesome bike, truly Classic. The engine runs great, congrats.

[@essessessesq]

Beautiful. I rode a white Super Hawk from 1969-72....29 horsepower, 100 mph, what more could any biker want?

[@Randy_51_]

This video is awesome, I techniqually own this same bike except I haven't picked it up from my Grandpa, this video makes me want to go get it right now!

+1 on those clubman bars, they look awesome. Cool video. And you're dead on accurate about Sarah Palin too. Looks like you've got things pretty well figured out.

[@ROCKINGMAN]

This model is used in the Elvis Presley film Roustabout. I became interested in japanese bikes because of that. The CB 72 is cute as well.

[@tww1491]

Type 1 or 2 engine. When I was in Japan in the 60s the 305 could come with a 180 or 360 crank. Yours sounds like a type 1.

[@alfajuj]

Sounds fantastic, man! Need to get some upper fork shrouds, though

[@moppedcrak]

beauty bike and i love this sound

[@ebrainz101]

That Sarah Palin thing makes me want to get rid of my Superhawk.

[@tomshiba51]

Nice bike. A guy in my neighborhood rides one. Don't know the year, but it looks like yours. His handlebars aren't as low as yours, but it sounds very nice. Haven't had a chance to flag him down and get questions answered. I've had a 1973 blue CL 175 and a 1975 red CB 400 F Honda. Miss them both. Whoo Ha!!!

[@arthurmchugh5184]

Reproduction gas tank badge! Sorry! I know the original have a hard time surviving 😎🏍 love the CB 77

[@stewartw.9151]

Would be nice to see a vid where someone really opens a CB77 up on the open road! I had one in 1962 and the little bastard would run past 10 000 rpm, even though I think the redline was at 9500. Mind you the engine on mine lasted only 7000 miles, but what the hell!

[@sierrachief117]

Because you didn't bother to change the oil

[@stewartw.9151]

@@sierrachief117 Since it was serviced from new according to the service schedule by the dealership from whom it was bought new, I doubt that is correct! In fact they claimed that it was a weak fuel/air mixture and blamed me for messing about with the carbs. They may have been right actually!

[@sierrachief117]

@@stewartw.9151 Oh! Sorry for the wrong assumption then. Did you follow up with the dealership guys about the reason? Did the piston had a hole on top? If yes, then it indeed was the weak air/fuel ratio.

[@stewartw.9151]

​@@sierrachief117 It was a holed or badly damaged piston, cannot recall exactly what they said. The dealer bought the bike from me as it was, and I then bought a Matchless 650 twin. Which was slower than the Honda! Then I got a car. Girls liked that better you know, improved your chances no end!

[@GTP-CD250]

nice cb77! my bike dream cd250k0！ yoroshiku!!

[@seanman3000]

Great looking Superhawk! I'm getting ready to restore my '66... Hey, who makes the helmet you're wearing in the video?

[@jaxes88]

Please put the original handlebars back on. This hipster cafe racer trend isn't going to last forever

[@nor4277]

It looks like the Honda 160 I use to have.?

[@flyingdouglas]

They are basic "Clubman" handlebars. I just cut an inch or so off each side to make them a bit shorter.

[@poppopannie]

Hi I just bought a cb77, what mirror are you using? They look amazing

[@ROCKINGMAN]

Have you seen Roustabout with Elvis Presley he rides a beautiful Honda 1964 CB 77one just like this and is criticized in the film for not buying American. I've always wanted to know where it is now. Great bike.

[@NorthWriter]

That's it. I'm buying a Superhawk.

[@Steverinomeister]

I have a 63 CA95 and a 65 CB160. Don't need no stinking leathers and black half helmet to ride my Hondas either.

[@ni485]

I too am wanting a Superhawk but after watching this video I agree with buckyrain, it looks cramped(although still very much cool!) How tall are you and is it comfortable with/for passengers?

[@epicdeuce]

So confused by the Palin reference, why not go with a 1960's hottie like Raquel Welch. Now that is a chic you need to have on the back of your bike. Love to see it mostly stock and restored, please keep it that way! How much did you pay for it?

[@balmoralpjk]

Do you wear any leather biker or greaser style jackets with the bike??

[@ambartron]

What kinda camera are you using....cool bike

[@tomupchurch4911]

Carefull... This guy will fuck you up.

[@EricVenegas]

I love the drag bars on your bike and would like to get a pair for my 1968 Honda CB77. Where did you get them and do you have a part number? Thanks!

[@caribman10]

That is the standard Hawk handlebar - the "western" bar was a US add-on.

[@jleewebb]

nice rider...cool handlebars...check with olypen.com for clutch cable for early model?

[@amrnagipfamily]

روعة

[@lifebehindbarz60]

Your bike has aged nicely, probably looks exactly the same 12 years later as it did then..... Sarah Palin, not so much. Yikes!

[@user-df6hi8ef9l]

[@MrGuitarguyadam]

What are the tires on it and what size?

[@miataman89]

what exhaust is that?

[@cazgerald9471]

Why do you push-off with your feet at 1:23?

[@tebibyte2357]

Because of the kick stand it has holding the bike up

[@depalzer7198]

Grob Motoriker, wie der die Gänge reinhaut,schade um das schöne Motorrad !!!

[@USS_Liberty]

this guy gets it

[@jiffjiffernson7292]

infections ? the desire to disappear by clapping? restraining orders?
