I had one of those as a kid 15 Is years old Me and my buddies beat the hell out of that poor thing And it just keep on going I do miss it and the sound of it is music to my ears
I bought a Superhawk out of the junk yard at Clark AB in the Philippines. Was missing a few parts, so I took it downtown to a specialty shop and we made a chopper out of it. No big changes except for an extended front end and a lot of chrome. Loved riding it, but it took a lot of room to turn around. Wanted to bring it home, but sold it to a local guy that probably had the only chopper in the Philippines at the time.
I have one just like it; put it in the shed 20 years ago when it was still running and it is still there! Wife wanted me to throw it out; maybe I should find a place to work on it and get it running. Thanks for the video.
Everyone remembers their first, my first 1967.
my 1st was a 65 CB 77, now at 72 years old I bought a couple more. Many, many in between.
Takes me back! I had a black 1966 and wish I had it today. Well Done Sir!
This bike takes me back to the beginning of my motorcycling. Back to when I was 12 yrs old. 😊
what a beautiful bike, i have 1 but sitting for 20 years now.nice video
Thanks 👍
honda made such good stuff
That bike is a gem. It has so much character and is a blast to ride! The Superhawk lives once again - thanks to A Motorcycle Nut. Great work. :)
I had a '66 305 scrambler bought overseas. rode it over the mountains of East Africa. This was in '71.
Nice video, makes me wish I was on my 305 right now.
I love bikes like this and daily a cmx250. Built in 09 but constructed like it came from the 70s or 80s!
Love how you didn't over-restore the bike mate! Perfect! 😎
I have a CL77 305. I bought it not running, got it running but I think it has a bad valve guide as one cylinder smokes despite it have good compression. It has been sitting since. Got to get back at it someday.
1965 Honda Superhawk was my first motorcycle. I bought it for $75. I had to take it to the local Honda shop to get it running. It seemed fast to me and it was nimble. I sold it before I left for the Army. I wish I had that little bike now. I remember the shift linkage being frame mounted and then going to the side of the engine, just as your bike has. Someone once told me to get rid of all that and just put a shifter on the engine. I never got around to it. It worked fine just as it was.
Back in the mid-1960's, drag racer Dennis Manning fitted a Marshall-Nortec J75 supercharger to his Superhawk, allowing him to do quarter-mile passes in 13 seconds with a top speed of over 110 mph.
For those searching it's Marshall-Nordec J75. They were used on MGTC's and TDs. Thanks so much for the reference, I plan to pick Dennis' brains about this next time I see him. progress-is-fine.blogspot.com/2014/02/supercharging-superhawk.html
Hey great job ,wish I had the same skills as you fix up my Honda
What a difference riding no time at all! ! There is site partzilla sell the rubber shift toe piece for around 5 dollars online
I had a black CB77 one of my friend had a blue one and my brother in law had a white one but it was a CP77 . They where small bikes but quite fast at that time , a brit 650 would not loose us...LOL Good memories thank's .
These bikes were already old when I was a kid in the early to mid 70s. I always thought they looked odd, as bikes had radically changed by then. I thought the tanks were put on backwards and it annoyed me. The rubber knee pads were unGodly. Now I think they are super cool and I heard the engines are solid and good.
Yea these engines are great. I daily a rebel250 which has a pretty similar one and it's been totally reliable for the near 10k I've put on it. Always fires right up, even down in the 20s or 30s. Runs like the day I got it with 1500mi. CDI instead of points though.
Takes me back ✌💚🕊
good stuff!
EXCELLENT
Nice work. Secretly was hoping you'd show all steps. Engine etc
But then, he'd be a youtube star. Not worth it!
had a 1966 cl77 when i was 15 my second bike it was faster than a later model cb450
Cool
White, black, red are the three colors that I remember these bikes coming in. These general purpose Hondas of this era are the best bikes ever built. Would love to have a cl305 candy apple orange to run errands around town with. Why didn't you get rid of that abortion of a paint job that someone threw on there with grandmas lace?
the white one may have been a cop bike
I had a 1965 when I was in Panama . It was a little different It was a CP -77, It was just a little larger frame
*I'd send for the guy in Viet-Nam who will fix every 'wave-washer' and 'cotter-pin' using a screwdriver and pliers while wearing flip-flops*
_____________
*He'd have them both done in 2-weeks!*
😁👍☕
White bike was probably an ex police bike
I'd love to see a video on how you unseize an engine.
I have a few dirty tricks for doing that, but the engine has to be intact. I just did one the other day and didn't video it but I should have. No guarantees in how good it will run or be, but it sure makes getting the top end off easier if they are not froze up. I'll have to video the next one.
@@Amotorcyclenutdo you have an email? I want to talk about the motorcycle ... I am from Indonesia, and I am only 17 years old. if uncle is willing to teach me, I am very grateful. if uncle reads this, please send uncle's email to email rizqiandromedasuhail@gmail.com
Squirt some light oil,WD or some such in the spark plug holes.Let it soak overnight..get on the crankshaft nut or clutch.Rock it.This only works if the cylinders are rusted a little.If the main bearings or wristpin are locked,pull the motor.
I liked my '65 SH but it always vibrated my butt to sleep on long rides.
A lot of those old bikes do that. It keeps you in shape.
@@Amotorcyclenut I had a Red CB72 in 1967 beautiful ride up 90mph, in 2010 when i had enough money to buy another, a 1964 Black model, it vibrated all the way up to 60mph, then i had to ease off because it felt it would self destruct. never mind, i think it was the most beautiful bike in the world.
What is the song and artist?
Are either of these for sale?
