Ebay sellers often price stuff into the stratosphere when they dream they can get it. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.  Dealer may have sold it for this at one time...just doesn't mean anyone will pay that price today.
I see nos bare heads going for $850 or higher for sohc and I can't see it being worth it as that could but a lot of porting and new valves, etc. on a used head.

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.
