Honda CL77 SCRAMBLER 1965 USA / 305 information

It took a while to come, but when Honda launched the 305cc version of their best selling CL72 in 1966 things just got better. The extra performance and torque delivered, belied the fact that this engine only delivered an extra 4.5bhp, it seemed a lot more, and of course weighed out only 7kg more.

It cannot be underestimated what an effect this model had in North America, if Honda were ever in doubt about their ability to sell motorcycles, those doubts were finally laid to rest when this model went ‘gold’ in record sales terms.

The 350cc class was the most popular in the USA for nearly 3 decades, and Honda made sure they always gave a choice of models to the American enthusiasts.

Surely one of the best looking Honda’s produced, few Honda enthusiasts could not desire to own such an example of Honda’s genius, and the classic residuals for original examples reflects this.
