Rode a pristine Scrambler in SoCal foothills from 1967-68 and still long for the howl of those shrieking pipes. I can appreciate the glory of a loving restoration but 'scrambling around' for 50-year old parts might take more time then I've got. Tell it to me straight -- where can I get a good restore and how much? (A Black frame with Candy Orange tank and side covers, and excellent silver and chrome, and a custom black leather seat would be swell.)
Not just throwing money -- I truly understand and respect the art of motorcycle restoration. Just busy being righteous doing other things. :-)
Want pristine CL77 (I know -- who doesn't!)

Where can I find?Hi William,
Welcome to the forum, and hopefully you'll find your dream bike sooner than later. I'd suggest watching EBay or any other website that offers bikes for sale nationally or internationally if you can afford it. I'd bet upwards of $5,000 for a "pristine" Scrambler. Currently on EBay there an CL72 in "good condition" for nearly $5K, but what it sells for is another thing. Watch the sites for the early models to get a pricing feel. Walnecks vintage bike site is good site to watch, but there too nicely restored CB's are at $5K, so I'd imagine the CL would be in the same price market. Good luck.
Thank you, Sir.
Having almost purchased a new Harley Davidson at over 10,000-dollars, a like-new Honda 305 Scrambler at 5000-dollars seems like a major deal. (A new 2015 250cc motorcycle comes in at around 5,000-dollars.) I've looked at many new and used bikes and I cannot find one I like better than the CL77. Geez, I really love that bike. Maybe because long ago it was such a major comfort and a royal rush to roar away on the beast leaving the Bomb and the War and teenage angst in the dust. In the sixties obtaining a Scrambler was an often unexpected and extravagantly remarkable stroke of teenage good luck. One was transformed in an instant from bicycle boy to the very heart of adventure astride those shrieking pipes. Yes -- many, many, many, excellent times on that bike. 50-years later a glimpse of a Scrambler brings it all back, priceless. I will gladly pay fair-market value for a pristine CL77 and put it in my will as a family heirloom. Honda 305Hello all you 305 lovers. I am putting my 305 up for sale and I really don't want to part with it. This Honda should be on display somewhere. Not only is this one of the finest but the history of the motorcycle is quite interesting. I do not what to put it on Ebay but I might have to. This is not a complete restoration but close. If you are serious please email me for more information. I can give you my cell number and we can take more. Email me at anthemhemi@yahoo.com

So far not response from anthemhemi@yahoo.com.Oh well, looks like someone beat me to it.
CL77 Price Difference Across YearsI was looking at NADA.com CL77 average prices and noticed that the 1966 and 1967 models in EXCELLENT condition are valued at 6030-dollars, yet the 1968 model in EXCELLENT condition is valued at only 3985-dollars. Does anyone know why the drop in price for the 1968 model? Does it have something to do with a welded pipe cone?
