Those good old girls had to be really warmed up good before they would run right without the choke. I once owned a Super Hawk and a 305 Scrambler and they both ran the same. They were truly magnificent machines!!
My God, turn up the microphone..oh and btw, twisting a throttle on a non-running bike without accelerator pumps is a waste of time. it does nothing but open and close the slide.
But most important, this was the bike mr Robert Pirsig used when he wrote "The Zen and the Motorcycle Maintenance" and he made the Chautauqua described in the book.
Thanks for the upload. Brings back many memory's. My father bought me one "new" in 1966 (I was 16) to drive to school. Seems it cost around $700 (brand new) !
Whoa that's amazing. My brother found one of these and the owner gave him the title to it, they were about to saw it in half. Fuel shutoff was off when we found it. Had clean oil in it. The only thing I was worried about was the speedometer
I had one of those Superhawks and I also had a "305" Honda scrambler. Those old 305 engines really liked to run a little on the rich side. Synchronizing and adjusting the fuel/air mix on the twin carburetors was a real pain, but if you got it right, it was a magnificent running engine. They were bullet proof!
A 57 year old Honda, NO Old Pommy bike was built as good as that.......and it didn’t leak oil everywhere.
My 1969 cb750 did not idle rough?? I think you have a bad carburetor.
I’m just a Roustabout.
why they even bother designing new bikes...
Nice engine sond!

engine doesn't sound too healthy
too bad you can't ride a bike dummy
you should really learn to ride first
They could do 10,000 rpm, quite something.This came to 100 mph
doesn't sound right.Is that a Dream engine? CB77 had 180 crank, Dreams had 360 crank
They came with both I thought in Japan at least
I had one of these in Panama Canal Zone 1965 -66 . Road it to San Jose, Costa Rica and Back . I wish I still had it .
Shouldn’ The speedometer sweep counter clockwise
Some models do!!
Sounds like you have the guts in the mufflers?
I had forgotten how narrow the tank is.
From one Joe to another Thank you for taking me back to 1966. The brain has an amazing memory with a little help!

Hey Joe when you changed your bars did you have to get longer cables? Sweet CB77 man....ride well, and be well!

My dude, those GOpros have awesome picture quality, but horrible audio... Awesome bike though!
Those were great bikes. When I was growing up my father had a 1964 CB 77 Super Hawk and used to give me rides on it.
Please sell it to someone who knows how to operate it
Lovely bike :-)
is it warm?

I feel for you engine trying to run with dirty carb's.
Bought a '67 brand new. Always regretted selling it.
I had a '64. Try pointing the camera at something other than the gas tank.
These bikes will *never* stop being cool.
Nice Bike. I hope you get mirrors.
I want a 65 superhawk so damn bad
This is awesome and very helpful!
