Best bike ever built in my 70 years!

[@motorcyclerewind]

The CL77 is an AWESOME bike. Thanks for subscribing!

[@sandy5548]

I totally agree,in the past 56 years of riding and more bikes that I can remember that will always be my favorite.

[@ralphwatten2426]

Lots of little quirks. Reset the floats twice and it still leaks out the overflow tubes if I don't shut the gas off. I've had Cl and CB 450's that did the same thing. I've had a CL 360 and a CB 360 that did the same thing too. I'm a Honda guy though and still have two of them. P.S. I've got a long story about setting the points and ignition timing on my 305 too but it'd take too long. The CLl77 is one of those bikes that a 13 year old in the mid 60's yearned after.

[@dpoteat56]

Absolutely love high pipe bikes.... Have a 66 red frame silver tank and fenders with 659 Original miles. And all original bike... Just one of my pride and joys.

[@motorcyclerewind]

WOW!!! I am guessing that's not the only bike you have.

[@dpoteat56]

@@motorcyclerewind just a few.,. But that's my favorite

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

That's the one! In the middle 1960s, a lot of young men had a Honda 305 CL Scrambler. Thanks for showing!

[@motorcyclerewind]

They are awesome motorcycles. Thanks for watching.

[@dago_0730]

What a jewel. The perfect bike exists

[@motorcyclerewind]

Agreed... This bike is pretty awesome!

[@lukewalker1051]

That thing is beautiful. I love the design simplicity of these bikes of yesteryear. My era. Art.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Couldn't agree more! And you can fix them on the side of the road with the supplied tool kit.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

@@motorcyclerewind . Which was an Extremely rare occurrence - a Honda having a problem other than normal maintenance.

[@michaelreeves5738]

Spent my teenage years in Dallas in the 60s tearing up the streets on a 305 scrambler. Loved that bike and many of my friends had them. I ran hell out of that bike and never had an issue with it. What a great starter bike for a young man in the day. Would love to find a pristine restored one circa 65-67

[@motorcyclerewind]

My friend has one going up for auction this weekend that is beautiful. Here is the link. hendersonauctions.bidwrangler.com/ui/auctions/89091/9707547

[@ronaldelliott4924]

Nice to see with stock pipes and not cut off ✔️🤳

[@motorcyclerewind]

This is a really great bike. Thanks for watching.

[@Bdelauder1987]

I love that sound. Reminds me of the grease bikes

[@motorcyclerewind]

Such awesome motorcycles. Thanks for watching.

[@user-oy1gk8is9o]

have 3 cl77's that need extensive care...hard to believe the condition of that bike had sit for years not a speck of dust...the bike looks perfect....like the color combo...may do one of the bikes that color

[@motorcyclerewind]

This bike sat for years after a restoration in a climate controlled storage facility. Very well cared for you never ran. Thanks for watching.

[@gdmofo]

Totally gnarly

[@motorcyclerewind]

Such a cool bike. Thanks for watching.

[@alistairbernard9574]

Awesome Machine. And Nice Job, lots of information and Tips. Thanks 👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

You’re welcome!!! Thanks for watching

[@mikehereford5565]

Hey Eric, I enjoyed the scrambler video. I just picked up a 66 CL77 from Van yesterday. Very complete. I'll be doing the same ritual soon. Funny your page popped up this morning. Looks like an original red frame with the tank, fenders and side covers repainted silver. Came with snuff or nots and the tool kit, I'll text you some pics after I get it out of the truck. I got it for my son Daniel who lives in Knoxville. Trying to get the next generation fired up :) I'll tell him about your page. Hope to see more 305's on your page.

[@motorcyclerewind]

ThatsAwesome can't wait to see what you do with it.

[@slipjointguy]

Great vid! I’d like to see that Honda dream in the background run too!

[@motorcyclerewind]

The old Dream will make it onto the channel in more ways than background. The ole girl runs great. I have had it for about 9 years and about 8 years ago put 6,000 miles on it. Rode it everywhere. The Dream makes friends every she goes.

[@ClassicRider]

I had loved that Honda Model from back then - it had a different look than the other models - btw: I know yo know what you are doing, but - my 750 had sat for over 30 years in my storage room. I was able to restore her during shelter in place and finally having a home with a garage in CT. Plugs were removed so no compression, then some 3 in 1 into the cylinders to soak. Then the gentle manual rotation - Now she has her own channel -

[@motorcyclerewind]

I have always been a fan of the Scramblers. Maybe its the high pipes and the riding position.

[@wahput708]

bike lookin’ great ✨

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks its a beautiful motorcycle!

[@BobCummins]

I had one of those my Senior year of high school. That was a fun year. Mine had straight pipes and Snuffer Nots.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Neighbors must have loved you!!!! lol

[@kalaharimine]

Nice looking bike, especially love the engine finning and shape, nice shiny leg burners too.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Really was a beautiful bike. My friend who owned it has several more CL77’s in equal to or better than condition.

[@sandy5548]

Rare color ,most were black/silver or red / silver nice bike .that canister didn’t come out till 66 model.it was the 1st I did on my 66 scrambler.was to throw that thing in the garbage.

[@motorcyclerewind]

The blue is definitely less common. Thanks for watching

[@jolanni7]

Love the 305's. Had a few of them over the years. Awesome video. You mentioned the bike may be ready for a new home? Just now watching, has it been sold. Did not see any futher mention.

[@motorcyclerewind]

My friend who owns it has more than one in similar condition. Not sure if this particular one has sold yet.

[@sailawaybob]

Beautiful old skool Honda, love to own

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks for watching!

[@nickacoutin2505]

My brother had the 305 I had the 250 back in 1969 .👍

[@motorcyclerewind]

The 250’s are gold now.

It was such a great example of a nicely restored CL77.

[@billh3-21]

Makes me wish I still had mine !

I Know Bill, the CL77 are truly classics. Thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you haven't already and please share.

[@jayp423]

Great bike

[@motorcyclerewind]

It sure is...

[@jeffmullinix7916]

It looks like from what I can tell the light lit before the mark . I always thought the light should light up at the mark !

[@motorcyclerewind]

The camera angle may be playing tricks. Or maybe I set them a little ahead.

[@hanmulder8557]

Nice bike

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks ✌️

[@patforet7336]

That wouldn't be one of Gordon's scramblers? He had quite a collection in Mand & Cov.

[@motorcyclerewind]

It sure is. One of the great things about having Gordon as a friend is the access to really cool motorcycles.

[@user-pe5ql6qx9l]

Yo tuve una Honda 305 cc son muy veloces para su epoca ✌️

[@motorcyclerewind]

¡Son unas motos geniales! Los tres conducían de forma diferente: el Dream, el SuperHawk y el Scrambler. Gracias por ver

[@michaellawrence5492]

Had a 1966 with out the muffler just the snuffer nuts at the end of the pipes, not healthy, 50 years later my ears are still ringing from winding it out, Dang!

[@motorcyclerewind]

Damn snuffer nots seemed like a good idea at the time.

[@bobmumphy3548]

Che really wanted a 15 minute video

[@motorcyclerewind]

Thanks for watching

[@marstondavis]

How many of those would they sell if Honda made them again?

[@motorcyclerewind]

All of them. This year Honda released the SCL500 inspired by the cl77 and the CL350. Let me know your thoughts. powersports.honda.com/motorcycle/standard/scl500

[@michaelwcarpenter5824]

The rest of us would have stuck a battery in it and started it. It is a Honda!

[@motorcyclerewind]

Yeah, I probably would have done that if it was mine. It was my friends and he was selling it. Thanks for watching.

[@user-di8re2tz5i]

I remember the Honda Dream was 305 and the scrambler was 250 but what do I know

[@motorcyclerewind]

You are right. They definitely made a scrambler in a 250 version. Thanks for watching.

[@genesullivan8624]

Just spotted this from 6 month ago. Is this bike still available and if yes can I get the price and contact number please. Thank you.

[@motorcyclerewind]

Gene, This one has sold but my friend who owned it has several more in equal to or better condition. Email me at [e-mail] and I will get you connected.
