Hi Phil, In the lower picture of the CB, I'm curious about the road racer thats setting just above the CB. What is it, looks to be a CB, and could you get a picture of it and put it on the forum. CliffC

Cliff,

You mean this one? :-) Just a teaser for now. More tomorrow!

Phil, yeah thats it. Which CR is it, 72 or 77 and do you know who owns it? That pic brings back a lot of memories. I would also like to know the numbers if available. CliffC

The tank style is that of a series I (early 1963) and the carb funnels are those of a CR72. Where was the photo taken? --Randall

It is based on a 305 which would make it a CR77. Picture was taken in New Hampshire. I do not think this bike is going to be for sale (can you blame him?) but the CB450 will be.

Thanks for the info. To my knowledge, there are just 3 authentic big CRs in the US, all in California. Two CR72s and one CR77. --Randall

I will guarantee you that this is a replica of a CR77. Even then it is still cool as hell and I wish it was in my garage!
