Hi,

Nice find. The CB77 is more than up to ride even longer distances, all depending on your posture and willingness to take back roads,

However, with two persons and luggage (Robert Pirsig and his son) it is hard to imagine looking at the bike anno 2014.

But read this: http://www.liamandc90aroundtheworld.com/ , and you will find that the CB77 is a luxury tourer compared to the C90. Everything is relative !

Dear Jeeper be in no doubt about the touring capability of these 'little' sports machines. My CB72 took me all over the UK when I was a student in the 70's and every summer we went touring and camping around Europe with one tour taking in Belgium, Holland, Germany and Austria ( inc Alps ) before returning through France over three weeks with no problems. My CB77 then took over with trips to the south of France and Norway including a tour right up into the Arctic Circle ( see photo ). I have no problem relating to the descriptions of touring on a Dream Sport in Zen. The road is out there - get on it!
