Description

  • The CB77 was truly the 'giant killer' of its time with 28bhp, a 17 second 1/4 mile and 105mph top speed wrapped up in a tidy, small package 
  • In the early 60s, overhead cams, a 9,200rpm 'redline', telescopic forks, twin carbs, twin leading shoe brakes and an electric start were the stuff of dreams
  • When parked next to a 500cc Enfield, the future was clear to see
  • Ridden by Elvis in the 1964 film 'Roustabout', quadrupling US sales
  • This lovely example was imported from the US and fully restored in the UK
  • It's a correct numbers bike and is UK registered on a current V5C
  • Our vendor is the only UK owner and uses the bike regularly on dry days
