1964 Honda CB77 Super Hawk

This is a No Reserve style auction. That means the highest bidder wins and takes her home 

For sale

My Vintage refurbished 1964 Super Hawk. California Clean Title in Hand. Under my name. I also have the original bill of sale from the 1st owner out of NY. I'm the 2nd owner. I'm selling her because I moved to Tx for work 3 months ago and I've had her garaged in California since. I come back to Los Angeles once a month. start her up and go for rides but that's it. These older bikes don't like to sit. I have no plans of taking my things to Tx so I thinks it's right to sell her.

She has 16. 81k miles on the odometer. I've had her rebuilt from head to toe over the last 2 years. so you shouldn't have to do any major work. just regular maintenance. She is in great shape. especially for a 50yr old bike.

These bikes are classics. rare to see on the road or for sale and definitely have that cool factor. I used it to cruise around Long Beach and DownTown LA. Never drove it hard. This actually wouldn't be a bad starter bike. I just want her to have another good owner.  

Buyer is responsible for shipping but if you want me to keep her stored for a while that's fine with me. If you need help with shipping arrangements just let me know I do have some experience with shipping across the country. There is no warranty on this bike. Non refundable $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auctions end. I do have a paypal account but prefer not to use it.  

Feel free to contact me anytime with any questions. below I attached some basic info and history on the Honda 1964 Super Hawk

Good luck to you all

The Honda CB77. or Super Hawk. was a 305cc (18. 6 cu in) straight-twin motorcycle produced from 1961 until 1967. It is remembered today as Honda's first sport bike. It is a landmark model in Honda's advances in Western motorcycle markets of the 1960s. nbsp;for its speed and power as well as its reliability. and is regarded as one of the bikes that set the paradigm for modern motorcycles.

The CB77 had. at only 305cc. a relatively big engine in comparison to most other Japanese bikes of the period. although it had performance to rival much larger motorcycles from other countries.  It quickly built a reputation for reliability. and was equipped with luxuries such as an electric starter.

The CB77 was built on the experience Honda had gained in Grand Prix racing. and differed greatly from previous models.  It had a steel-tube frame instead of the pressed frames of earlier Hondas. nbsp;and a telescopic front fork.  The parallel twin engine. the biggest then available in a Honda. was an integral element of the bike's structure. providing stiffness in a frame that had no downtube. and was capable of 9. 00 rpm. It could propel the bike at over 100 mph; as fast as British parallel twins with higher displacements. and with great reliability.  Cycle world tested its average two-way top speed at 168. 3 km/h (104. 6 mph). and its acceleration from 0 to 1?4 mi (0. 00 to 0. 40 km) in 16. 8 seconds at 83 mph (134 km/h).

Author Aaron Frank called it. "the first modern Japanese motorcycle. that established the motorcycle paradigm that we still operate under now. more than forty years later.

Robert M. Prisig rode a CB77 Super Hawk on the trip he made with his son and their friends in 1968 on a two month round trip from their home in St. Paul. Minnesota to Petaluma. California. which became the basis for the novel Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values.  The novel never mentions the make or model of Pirsig's motorcycle. nbsp;but does discuss their companions. John and Sylvia Sutherland's. new BMW. an R60/2. prized for its place in motorcycle literature. has changed hands and is still regularly ridden. while Pirsig was. as of 2007. still the owner of his CB77 Super Hawk.
