With specifications that would have been the exclusive preserve of exotic racing machinery only a few years earlier, the sports roadsters that began to be introduced by Japanese manufacturers in the early 1960s seemed tailor-made for production racing. One of the first to make its mark in this increasingly popular and important branch of motorcycle sport was the Honda CB72, an overhead-camshaft ‘250’. Introduced in 1960, the twin-cylinder CB72 produced 24bhp at 9,000rpm and weighed just 337lbs, an excellent power-to-weight ratio the endowed the supremely well-specified ‘CB’ with a level of performance challenging that of many British 500s. More powerful yet scarcely any heavier, its close relative - the 305cc CB77 - was the first Honda to make an impact in the middleweight class. Essentially an over-bored CB72, the CB77 arrived in Britain in 1963 and like its quarter-litre predecessor was soon making its presence felt on the racetracks.
RWF is a recent import from the USA, our deceased vendor being the first UK owner. He recommissioned it before his untimely passing but it will need further light recommissioning before road use.
Sold with the V5C, workshop manual and key.
this bike comes from a deceased estate and has not been started for at least 6 months, I have not heard it running and not tried to start it. The vendor had 6 bikes that we are selling on behalf of his widow, they were all runners before he passed away
