Cycle World 1963 Road Test Bike


NOT LONG AGO, Honda motorcycles made their appearance, more or less simultaneously, on the racing circuits and the marketplaces of the world. It is not too far from the truth to say that, initially, they amused instead of amazed the motorcycle enthusiasts. Their racing machines were only moderately fast, and not particularly reliable, and the models they offered for sale, while intriguing in specification, looked a bit peculiar to the occidental eye.

Now, an astonishingly short time later, the picture has been absolutely reversed: there is considerable amazement, generally, and only the Honda company, and its many dealers, can afford to feel the least bit amused. Honda's racing motorcycles have achieved total domination of the classes in which they compete, and eager purchasers are flocking to Honda showrooms all over the world. Never before, in the entire history of motorcycling, has one company done so much in so little time. There are, naturally, excellent reasons for this progress: from top to bottom, the Honda line of motorcycles features good performance, good handling, good quality, and a high degree of technical refinement. The fastest and most refined of all Hondas is the CB77, and it is a remarkable machine in many respects, as we shall see.
