1965 Honda 305cc C77 Dream Frame no. unable to locate Engine no. CA77E-100341 Please kindly note that this motorbike will be available for viewing by prior appointment in Dortmund: please contact eva.lengler@bonhams.com for booking. Honda's first twin-cylinder motorcycle - the 250cc C7 - arrived in 1957 and would go on to form the basis of an extended range of similar twins in smaller and larger capacities. Displacing 305cc, the first of the latter were introduced in 1958 as the C75 tourer and CS76 'street scrambler'. These early Honda twins featured - to European eyes - somewhat idiosyncratic styling with their boxy leading-link fork, pressed-steel frame and swinging-arm, deeply valanced mudguards and enclosed drive chain. They were, nevertheless, extremely well engineered and well specified, boasting overhead camshafts and electric starters at a time when such advanced features were virtually unheard of in Europe. This machine is an example of Honda's 305cc tourer in its ultimate C77 form. The machine comes with a folder of paperwork to include a State of New Jersey Certificate of Title showing that it was resident in the USA when exported in 2015. The engine turns over.
