Dianne's C77
I had it on the highway last weekend for the first time. I could barely make 45 MPH bucking a STRONG headwind and 55 MPH running with the wind.
I was a lot smaller (and lighter) when I had my 1966 CB77 but I KNOW I could get over 100 MPH on that bike! Is there that much difference between the single carb C77 and the twin carb CB77???? Hopefully speed will improve as the engine gets run in ..... Two 26mm carbs and sportier cam. The CB will be quicker but probably not 50mph quicker.......

My 1967 Triumph Daytona 500 would show 110 on the clock but it was a much nicer bike when I rebuilt it with a single-carb head using the Daytona cams and smaller valves. It would do 90 all day long and was very well-mannered. My 1978 CB400F was almost as fast but didn't handle as nicely and my 1982 Moto Guzzi V50 was somewhere between the two G '60 C77 '60 C72 '62 C72 Dream '63 CL72
