Classic Honda

[vfrpaul98_imp]

Stopped off at the local grocery store on my CB750 today and spotted this classic mid 60s 305 Scrambler (a.k.a. CL77) parked out front. It looks like a daily driver that's been earning its keep for the last 50 yrs. or so.

I don't see too many of these anymore.

my first new Honda was a cl160 back in 1966 which this bike is not. it is a white cb160 production 1964-69 with cl175ko tank and chrome front fender with cl handlebars. the rear fender is still cb160 with rear flap mounting holes which would have been silver in color.cb/cl160 engines are identical, cl175ko looked like cb160 engine but had a 5 speed trans and production was 1968-69. new cb/cl175 type engine, (almost vertical head and cylinder angle with tach drive) came in 1970
