The other four are all projects in various conditions.
Three run, though, not well yet, one has a stuck motor, plus, I've also a spare stuck motor.

Eventually, I'll sell three.   I may build a rider out of one, since the miles on the nice one are so low, I might want to keep it that way.

The nice one is currently on display at a local Honda dealer, along with my '76 CB400F,  for others to see and and enjoy.

"OUCH"!!!!!!! I'd have to pass on this, even if I was Seriously looking!  :o

Yeah, that is crazy.   There is a CB77 muffler (might be NOS, don't remember) listed for $850 right now too.    You can get quality reproductions from David Silver Spares for $300/side.

        Very Nice Examples there. Myself, I have the Super Hawk that is pretty fine, parts to work on building another one and I also have a 400F, but it needs a good going over. Motor turns over and it is mostly there, but I haven't had the opportunity to see what it would take to get it running and fixed up. At one point, I had an example of the fours, from the 350F, to the 750A (didn't have a regular 750.  Only they were most all, projects and I ended up having to part with most all of them, for one reason or another. I am proud for those who have some of those SOHC4s and only Slightly envious (not in a bad way, mind you).

       The Start of the mock up of my '64 Super Hawk Build, that I started, several years ago and "Life" happened, which derailed the project, back around 2009. It is in storage, at a Close Friend's, about 2hrs away and hoping to be able to get it here, by this Spring (at the latest and get back on it.  Hopfully.  ;)

             Last one for now. Just wanted to show that I did have something started and hope to be able to get it together and be something of interest. I will have to go a Mighty Long Way, to come even close to being as interesting as those on here though:

I'd love to have a nice red one, it seems that a high percentage of the ones I see are black.   I may have to paint one of my project bikes red.

You'll have to do a build thread when you get back going on it.
Are you on Honda Twins (http://www.hondatwins.net) or the Honda 305 Forum (http://www.honda305.com)?


           I hope to be able to do a build thread on it, though it won't be as much of the custom work, I have seen on the others. And, yes, I have been a member of the 305.com, for almost as many years as I have been on here (joined here, in Dec '05) and I was a  member on the original Honda Twins, early on, along with the Honda Twins.net as well, been associated with the Twins. , since forever. But, I have to say that there are quite a few folks in these forums, who have more actual "Hands On Experience". Not gonna try to outshine them. I have basically done some repairs, and rode them. I have only "Built 1" and it was a 1958 Jawa 125. I hit my Dad up for a motorcycle, since a number of my friends were getting one and we had a motorcycle shop in our family (Granddad's Sold & Serviced Indians, originally) and he said if I graduated that year (13 or 14yrs old). So, time came and we went to Granddad's shop and Dad told me it was upstairs. sending me up there 3 times and when I came down the last time, he said "It is up there, You just have to put it together!" Only thing I didn't have to put together, were the wheels. I was irritated at first, but a few years later, I realized just what a valuable Learning Experience he had given me. But, I built it up, pure stock.   BTW, if you are on either or both of them, look me up, same username, bill440cars.  ;)

I agree about the red ones. My CL77 was one of them. I just loved that color combination, red with a silver frame.

I bought a new CB77 blue with white frame in 67.

The dealer said Honda made him take a bunch of solid white ones and he couldn't sell them, so he painted the tank, fenders and sidecovers electric blue.

$700 and change out the door, he took my last red cent, and I thought I got a heck of a deal!

I was never so happy to be so broke!

              Never saw one with a white frame. Back in 67-68, was when I was stationed inJapan, while in the Air Force and I tried to find one to buy. Ended up with a '66 CB72. It was pretty cool, but not a 305, though I started building on it and was hoping to get a cylinder and piston, to make it a 305 and almost made it, but then got shipped out. My luck.
