The CB77 Super Hawk was the sporting 305 cc twin that made Honda's name in America in the early 1960s. Unlike the pressed-steel touring Dreams, it used a tubular frame with telescopic forks, twin carburettors and a 180-degree crank that let it rev hard, and road testers saw close to 100 mph. Electric start and good reliability made it a strong-value alternative to British twins of similar performance.
