1965-1968 Honda CL77 Scrambler 305 | Retro Review

Post by ClintBarton » Thu Jun 21, 2018 6:18 am

Hi,

Here we have the last of Honda’s 305 models, which began with the dry-sump CA76 in 1959, moving on to the wet-sump CA77 Dream in 1960, then the CB77 Super Hawk in ’61, and finally, the model we are dealing with here, the CL77 Scrambler. Nobody seems to know where the 77 came from.Curiously, Honda’s 250 version of the Scrambler, the CL72, had come out in 1962, and why Honda waited three years to scramblize the 305 has never really been explained. Again, leaving us to wonder. Though it may have had something to do with Yamaha’s 305cc Big Bear Scrambler, which appeared in 1965.

C7 C71 C76 ........the 7 designates the base-motor design. All others are iterations of the original. The CL72 was introduced for 'racing' which had an internationally accepted 250cc class.
