tnx for posting these. I bought a CB350k new in 1970 (mine was Gold/White) so it was fun seeing it listed also.

I don't know anything about brochure printing, but in the 3rd photo it looks like the copyright says "1969 American Honda Motor Co., Inc.". Would a dealer be able to print up a brochure with a copyright like this? I do agree tho that whether this is from Honda or a dealer, all it would really mean is that in 1969 there were still CA77's for sale from the dealers (which we already knew), not necessarily that they were still being produced.

I'm guessing Honda over produced the CA model for 67 (either on purpose or not), or they were undersold.

Either way, they were obviously sold new as later year models. (Where's a good lawyer when you need one!)

The brochure looks official Honda to me, instead of a dealer production.

I have a neighbor with a CA 77 titled as a 1970 I believe, maybe I can convince him to let me take a peek at his wiring harness. If it says 1968 or later then all bets are off.
