These are a few more pictures of vintages Hondas for you to enjoy. These featured bikes belong to myself, and to other friends and restorers who share my love of this sport.

This is my 1966 CA-77 "Dream", fully outfitted with the 1960's accessory Buco fiberglass saddlebags and Buco windshield. My personal favorite! The Ca-77 featured s 305cc motor, but differs from the Superhawk and Scrambler in that it has a single carburator and a 360 degree crank. These motors have their own pleasing and distinctive sound.
My 1966 CL-77 "Scrambler. This bike is mostly original, and is a lot of fun to ride. The CL-77's have a very distinctive sound with those "straight through" pipes! This particular bike has the later production larger wheel hubs, but also has a number of other early model production parts which were also used on the earlier CL-72 (250cc) Scrambler.
This award winning 1969 "Sandcast" CB-750 belongs to my friend "JJ" Parnell. This bike won the VJMC Members Choice Award in 1995 at it's first showing during the White Rose Motorcycle Club's annual Vintage Japanese Motorcycle show in Jefferson, PA. A pristine example of the 1969 models, it looks prettier in person than in the picture. The gentleman in the background (polishing the wheel) is well known musician, and champion road racer, Jay Parnell.
How about this for an unusual set-up! A CL-72 (250) Scrambler with a homebuilt SIDECAR! WOW. This bike belongs to fellow VJMC member Tim McDowell, and also has a "hot rod" motor to help it pull that sidecar. "Hats off" to Tim on for his unusual bike. Did you notice the "step through" in the background?
This late 1960's CL-450 belongs to Scott Williams, and is another gorgeous bike. Scott won top Honors at the White Rose SHow in 1995. That was a big show for Scott, as he also took Best In Class Awards for all of the bikes that he entered.
Again, a photograph doesn't do this bike justice.
Great restoration job Scott!
An early 1960's CB-77 "Superhawk" ! This bike is another of my personal favorites...right after my red 1966 Dream! To me, the blue color with a blue seat is one of the prettier color combinations, and it never fails to get a lot of attention.
This particular bike is an earlier style, with painted metal fork lowers, low handlebars, and flat seat.
The CB-77's featured 305cc motors, with twin carburators and a 180 degree crankshaft, and excellent performance for it's size.
Another picture of a nice CL-77 Scrambler. I don't know who owned this particular bike, but it was another nice example of the CL-77. This photo was taken during the 1994 White Rose Motorcycle Club's Annual VIntage Japanese Show. Could this be YOUR bike??? (After discussion with Ed Moore, I think that this bike is a 1967 model.)
Note, Scott Williams beautiful CL-450 in the back ground........You might wonder how did that YAMAHA slip in here on a HONDA page?..... As they say in Jamica "No Problem", it's a pretty bike too. I appreciate all of them!!
This nice CB-92 belongs to Robin Markey. He's a member of the White Rose Motorcycle Club and
has some very nice vintage Hondas on display every year. This particular bike has been featured in Old Bike Journal and is very pretty. Robin's family runs "Bob's Indian" in Etters, PA and are key sponsors of the Vintage Japanese Show.
If you've never been to this show and you like vintage Japanese bikes, then you're missing out on a lot of fun. The show is usually the third weekend of August every year. You can get more infomation on the show through my link to the White Rose Club (on my main page).
That's a CL-72 (250 Scrambler) and a CB-77 (Superhawk) in the background.
Here's my "wish list" for things that I "wish" I had:
* CB-92.....know of one sitting in a barn
somewhere ?
* plastic tank badges for my 1966 Superhawk,
They say "300" below the Honda wing.
* racing seat, and misc. parts to go with my
kitted (347cc) motor...
* late model Dream mufflers for my next
Dream project
* any old 305 Honda stuff that's catching dust in
the garage ( if you live close enough! )
