cl72vscl77

After many months being elsewhere in the M/C world I am now getting the itch to get back into the old Hondas. I am looking at a cl72 that is complete ,running and has a title at a reasonable price.
So my question to y'all is just how does the tire size and gearing compare to the cl77 in ride and performance? Rusty

Rusty; I have one of each and would say that the 305 has at least 30% more power. a very noticable difference from the moment you start off. the 250 is not happy at all at 60mph while the 305 is OK and has lots left at that speed.
Good luck
Randy
OTOH the 250 is far and away the better looking one,

Thanks Randy, that is what I was thinking at least along those lines from what I remembered from past threads.
In all honesty, on the 305s I have ridden, the not happy one was me. 60mph on these small bikes without a wind shield is not a walk in the park. So for me the fun on these bikes is the back roads under 50. If I want speed on the highway I'll take my geezer glide.
I may just take the plunge and see where it leads me. Rusty

rustywrench, I was wondering if you got that CL72. I have a 67 CL77 and I have kind of been looking for a 250 also. I have not heard of any for sale anywhere close by here (eastern Wa.)
Thanks, George

Sorry George, we actually had two recently in the Puget Sound area and they went rather quickly. It seems that you have to check C/L every day and be ready to move on them right now and be ready to spend a king's ransom at that. Rusty
