Text below was copied from: http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/Honda_CL77 Honda CL77 Scramblers, designated "CL" by Honda, differed from the sport bikes (designated CB) to allow for some off-road riding. The CL77 differed from the CB77 Super Hawk in a number of ways. To increase ground clearance, it had the upswept exhaust pipes running along the bike's left side. It eliminated the electric starter and substituted the 180-degree crankshaft with a 360-degree crank. It had a small-capacity fuel tank, fork boots, 19-inch front wheel, coarser-tread tires (called universals), a taller handlebar, and abbreviated fenders. The 305 cc overhead cam engine had a redline of 9000 rpm and contrasted sharply from the low-revving European and American bikes of the day. In 1968 Larry Berquist and Gary Griffen won the second official Baja 1000 race on a CL77 giving the model great off-road credibility. The Honda Scrambler 305 designated CL77 was sold in 1965-68. For the "Early" model there were three colors were available: Blue, Red, and Black. The fuel tank, side covers, and fenders were silver. The frame, upper fork, and headlight shell were painted one of the basic colors. For the "Late" model there were three colors available: Candy Orange, Candy Blue, and Silver. The fenders were chrome. The frame and headlight shell were black. The fuel tank and side covers were one of the basic colors. The fuel tank had a rubber knee pad. The two exhaust pipes were mounted on the left side and converged into a single muffler. The engine was a 305cc 4-stroke OHC wet sump parallel twin with dual carburetors. The transmission was a 4-speed. The serial number began CL77-100001.
