Recently restored bike see other video HONDA CB72 1963 RESTORED. Please note marks on drive are not from bike, engine is oil tight. Apologies for wind noise on sound.
I bought a new CB72 in red in 1967, then managed to trace and purchase a neat 1964 model in black in 2008, both absolutely stunningly beautiful bikes, it made me feel so proud just to site on these bikes.
Are you sure it was a cb72,that’s a 250,I don’t thing they made the 250 in 67,probably a 305 cb 77. I could be wrong, I grew up on cb s cL s and dreams ca in the sixtys...sandman
@@sandy5548 I believe the first CB 72 came to GB in late 1960. My friend and i did a MVT course at Maidstone college in 67, he had a CB77 both in red which we believed were for the American market, we both had our bikes fitted with straight through megaphone silencers with larger jets. When we parked together and pressed the electric starter buttons together, pure perfection, OH to go back to those day's
Nice resto. My brother had the CB72 here in Australia back in the 60s. He was in the Navy and when he was on a ship I had the bike, when he was on a land base he had it. I'd previously owned a BSA Bantam 125, which had a 3 speed gearbox. When I first started riding the CB72 it must have taken me several weeks to discover fourth gear. That was a good day. :)
@@Anton-ce9du yep. Especially when he moved permanently to a land based navy hospital. I sold the Bantam and soon after bought the honda 250 trail version, CL I think, with the upswept pipes and no ability for dirt riding, just the road bike with pipes.
@@Anton-ce9du I remember back in the late 1960's a buddy of mine who live a block away bought a brand new one exactly like yours. I always drooled when he rode it past my house. My folks wouldn't let me buy a motorcycle while I lived with them. Once I moved out, I got a procession of motorcycles and to this day still have a Harley and two scooters. Those 60's Hondas were great bikes and very affordable. That's why they sold so many.
@@chuckster3629 I used to drool over the CB 92 125 sport when it first came over to the UK in the late 1950's as well as the CB72 they were light years ahead of the British bikes at the time but were well out of my price range. I had a Francis Barnett Falcon 197cc two stroke, no comparison.
@@Anton-ce9du My first motorcycle was a used '66 Kawasaki 175 twin two stroke. It had a cool 4 speed transmission that you could upshift or downshift and when you came to a stop sign in 4th gear, all you had to do was push the shifter down one more time to go into neutral. Then down again for first gear, etc. Even had little lights in the tachometer to tell you what gear you were in as well as a separate larger green light for neutral. Way ahead of its time. I used that bike to deliver newspapers in the mornings, 7 days a week, when I went to college at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma. My folks sold the bike after I joined The Navy with my blessing and sent me the money. Those were the days.
Thanks to clips like this one and many more I have seen, I came to conclusion that the 2020 Honda Goldwing DCT Tour will be a bike for me after owning and selling 2018 K1600 Grand America which had so many issues. That was so disappointing. I will never touch BMW again. So far, my GW is so wonderful and no regrets for a minute. Honda is simply a bike company which never fails to impress.
Yes I agree with you wholeheartedly .I had a 2012 k1600 which was a lemon .In the end I wasn't confident to go on long rides for fear of it breaking down. It's Honda for me anyday .
These engines came in three different stroke variations. The super hawk, I think the one in this video, the Pistons went up and down together, and they Fired at the same time, that’s why the super hawk had 2 carburetors. The Honda dream had the same crankshaft, the Pistons went up and down together, but they took turns firing, That’s why the dream engine only required one carburetor.then there was The scrambler. In that engine, one piston would be at top dead center, the other piston would be at bottom dead center like the pedals of a bicycle. I had to Keep that in mind when I was a Honda mechanic
Wrong.. CB72/77 (Hawk/Super Hawk) had Type 1 crank. 180 deg crank throws, 2 sets of points, 2 carbs. Uneven firing, which is why they needed 2 carbs and sound "lumpy". C72/77 (Dream) had Type 2, 360 deg cranks. Pistons rise and fall together. Alternate firing. One set of points with wasted spark ignition. Even firing means they could run 1 carb. No Honda twin ever had pistons that rose and fell together and fired at the same time (infact, no parallel 4 stroke twin ever made, that would be just silly...)
It's a credit to you, looks like new. I had a new CB72 in 1964, i was sixteen at the time, because none of my mates at the time had Japanese bikes, i got the nick name of "Tokyo Twin". Do you still have the Honda ?
Beautiful, man. Was this model imported into the U.S. as well? In 1963 I bought a CB Super 90. I don't recall this model on the showroom floor at that particular time.
Nice...did you switch out the sealed beam headlight for a halogen? Was it difficult. I have the headlight but it won't pass the registration test with the old sealed beam. I have to break the seals, smash the bulb and assembly, core it out, widen the hole and somehow fix a halogen to it.
@@Anton-ce9du cool.. I live in Japan. I wanna put it on my old Kawasaki but the regs don’t permit sealed beams anymore. The bulb in the Stanley is sealed into the beam and you have to replace the whole thing. You can’t just remove the bulb, or if you do you have to drill out the base and smash it to bits and suck it out of the bowl through the hole. What a mess. Anyway I like the speedo and light set up so I’m gonna give it a go.
hey i have a bike i just got CA72E- 310228 is the engine c ode and im trying to determine what the bike is it looks kinda like a cb 77 but not at the same time
Hi Tyler here is a link to info on the CA72. Hope that helps. The engine you have is definitely from this model. www.cmsnl.com/honda-ca72_model111/info/

Honda just simply made the most appealing looking bikes in the 1960's - the dreams were my favorites.
They were a breath of fresh air design wise particularly the engines.
My first bike was a CB 350, I loved that thing
