1966 Honda CL77 (Red)

The Honda CL77 was a 4-stroke 360cc motorcycle built by Honda between 1969 and 1973. The CL designation indicated this model to be the "Scrambler" version which implied some off-road capability prior to actual dirt-bikes gaining popularity. The CL series of bikes were actually street bikes with a higher rear fender, a braced handlebar, and a high-mount exhaust.

The CL77 Scrambler 305 was a close relative of the Honda C77 Dream and the Honda BB77 Super Hawk of the 1960s. Scramblers, designated CL by Honda, differed from the sport bikes (designated CB) to allow for some off-road riding. The CL77 differed from the CB77 Super Hawk in a number of ways. To increase ground clearance, it had the upswept exhaust pipes running along the bike's left side. It eliminated the electric starter. It had a small-capacity fuel tank, The fuel tank had a rubber knee pad, fork boots, 19-inch front wheel, coarser-tread tires (called universals), a taller handlebar, and abbreviated fenders.

The 305 cc overhead cam engine had a redline of 9000 rpm and contrasted sharply from the low-revving European and American bikes of the day.

In 1968 Larry Berquist and Gary Griffen won the second official Baja 1000 race on a CL77 to give the model off-road credibility.
