1964 Honda Superhawk , I won't give a history lesson on the significance of the CB77, but if you don't know it's past I encourage you to check it out. This is one of the first models Honda imported into the U.S. and an early front runner for their racing program. You also may have heard about a little story book which featured one of these trusty bikes, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I bought this bike a few years back as a basket case from a gentleman in Indiana. The bike had not seen the road since 1969, and the odometer is correct. I brought the bike home and did a complete teardown on it, every nut and bolt. Using factory parts & service manuals I went through and noted all parts that needed replaced/repaired. The bike has now been rebuilt, repainted, rechromed, or replaced from front to back. There isn't a part on the bike that hasn't had some type of work done to it. Some of the highlights are: Powder coated frame, swingarm, kickstand (rare option), center stand, fork legs, Total engine rebuild including .010 over bore and Wiseco pistons, New Avon Roadrider tires, New seat, BRAND NEW nos mufflers ($1000), Updated voltage regulator, All sheetmetal stripped and painted, New stainless spokes and replated factory rims, Correct plastic badges (not metal repops). I finished the bike, rode it a few times, and then started another project. As it goes with old bikes, it wasn't long before the carbs were gummed up and the battery was dead. I moved the bike into my kitchen where it provided me with much viewing pleasure over the next few years. I wanted to get the bike rideable again but have been very busy lately, so I took it to a buddies shop to get it squared away. He rebuilt the carbs, replaced the battery, stripped the inside of the tank and coated it with Caswell gas tank sealer. Now the bike starts right up and runs like a dream. I have a ton of extras to go with the bike, including: frame, engine (seized but rebuildable), original stainless steel mufflers (a little beat up but not too bad), 2 sets of forks (1 aluminum tubes, 1 steel tubes), set of wheel hubs, stock seat (needs redone), 2 fenders (1 front, 1 rear), misc engine/bike parts, literature used in restoration. Bike does have a few minor cosmetic flaws but nothing major. I think it looks a little better in person but you judge for yourself the quality of this bike from the pictures. This truly is a beautiful machine. I put alot of love into restoring this gem, and have enjoyed its company very much, but now its time for me to allow it to go to a new home. One note, the original title has been lost to time. Most states won't re-issue titles for bikes this old & don't require them for registration. I will provide paperwork needed to register, bill of sale and proof of previous owner. Can be seen at Gashead Motorsports, Conyers, GA (678) 562-0078. $4,995.00 6786038311
