Once again contacted D. Silvers and here is the reply, not very conclusive.:(

Hi Again mike,

I'm showing the sell date for this model as being 1961 - 1968.
It's quite difficult to pin down exact details for these 60's bikes as Honda
hadn't quite got their VIN numbering and part numbering systems together at
that time.

In the details I have here, the first VIN number is shown as being
CB77-100001 and the first engine number is CB77E-100001.

So logically I would say that yours would be a 1961 model as the numbers are
so close to 100001.
But again I can't stress enough how difficult it is to confidently pin these
60's model to an exact year.

I hope this is helpful

Kind Regards
Tim

Thank you for your very prompt reply! Alas I require a little more info
please...
I have been posting on a forum for H305's and have gotten conflicting
details. I am including 2 pictures, one of the VIN for the frame and one of
the EIN. I really would like to know more about this machine. I have been
told this is a late '64 CB77?

Again thank you very much for any help you can give me in advance.

can you look at the wiring harness label under the seat (or is it under the tank)? There's usually a year of production there as well.
