Happily, the CB77's road behavior was every bit the equal of its speed potentials. As we have said, the brakes are great, and the handling over any surface (except dirt, which we didn't try) is even better. At any speed, you can lean it down into the turns and really push without getting the feeling that the situation could get out of hand. One cannot adequately describe the handling: it is simply too good. The closest we can get is to say that the rider always feels like an extension of the machine; you don't point it, you simply point yourself and the bike follows your lead.

Conclusion

From any viewpoint, the Honda CB77 Super Hawk is an exceptional motorcycle. It is technically advanced and possesses a degree of civilization that is certain to make it popular. Such touches as the electric starter, the fine ride and handling, the performance and little things like the easy-to-read speedometer/tachometer combination make this Honda just about irresistible. Our entire staff was deeply impressed by the Super Hawk; the technical editor to such an extent that he is ready to buy one, which may have some special significance, as be is hard-to-please and a mighty cautious man with a dollar as well.
