Hi everyone, thanks for allowing me to join this great forum! I’m looking for a little advice; I am considering buying a CB77 I came across as a restore project. The asking price is $550.
It’s very dusty and been stored for 30 years but looks mostly complete. I’m trying to sort out the year of the bike. The seller advertised it as a 1960 but from what I can see it’s a 66 or newer. The serial number is CB77–1045713. Does anyone know how to determine the actual year? Any other advice? Good price? Run? Lol
Thanks very much!

Yes , you're right. A '61 bike would have '11' at the beginning of the chassis number. Yours would be post '65 and '66 would be a good guess. Honda stopped using year designations after '65.  Under the tank there will be a white tag on the wiring harness which gives a date of manufacture for the harness. Good price if it is all there. G

Cb77Do you any pictures of the bike?
Is the bike registered to the owner and does it turn over or is the engine seized? I assume the bike does have keys? If you re willing to put the time and money into the bike it could be a good project. 67' CB77

Re: Looking at buying a restore projectI am in the same boat but, I inherited a Superhawk from my late uncle...the VIN is close to yours...CB77-10429xx and with the responses I have received from various sources...I am dating my Superhawk as a late 1966. 1966 and 1967 had a few different features...if we know the production numbers for 1967, we could work backwards with the numbers.... I have been in contact with Bill "MrHonda" Silver, who has help out a great deal ! Derek
