1960s Honda CB77 Super Hawk 305 Valuation Report

Date: August 2025

Historical Overview

The Honda CB77 “Super Hawk” (305 cc parallel-twin) helped establish Honda’s reputation in the UK during the early–mid 1960s. Alloy cylinder barrels, electric start, a lively overhead-cam engine and quality electrics set it apart from many contemporary British lightweights. Early bikes with period details and correct tank/badge styles are the most collectible, while later machines remain popular for their usability and parts support. Many UK examples are re-imports from North America; completeness, originality and paperwork now drive the biggest price gaps.

UK Valuation Summary (by condition and year range)

Condition	Early (circa 1961–1963)	Late (circa 1964–1967)	Example External Source (non-link reference)
Project / Restoration Non-runner or incomplete; may need engine/gearbox work, carb rebuilds, wheel/chrome and wiring attention	£1,900 – £3,000	£1,700 – £2,700	Car & Classic – Honda CB77 archive; eBay UK completed listings
Roadworthy / Presentable Running and usable; typically older paint, minor non-stock parts; generally complete and tidy	£3,800 – £5,500	£3,300 – £5,000	Manor Park Classics – motorcycle results; Collecting Cars – sold listings
Restored / Excellent Very original survivor or quality restoration; correct badges, rims and silencers; matching numbers with history	£6,000 – £8,500	£5,500 – £7,500	Bonhams – motorcycle auctions; The Saleroom – multi-house results

Notes: UK-registered, matching-numbers early CB77s with correct tank badges and original paint sit at the top of the ranges. Later machines can match early prices when exceptionally original with full documentation. US re-imports lacking key tinware or with non-stock silencers often trade 10–20% below midpoints.

Value Influencing Factors

• Originality & completeness: Correct tank badges, side-covers, rims, silencers and switchgear materially increase value.
• Numbers & history: Matching engine/frame, old logbooks, dealer receipts and MOT trail command premiums.
• Mechanical condition: Top-end wear, camchain/tensioner, carburettor condition, charging and starter systems are key cost drivers.
• Cosmetics vs. correctness: Period-correct paint/decals and fasteners outperform shiny but inaccurate restorations.
• Market timing: Spring/summer retail achieves stronger prices; winter often yields keener buys on projects.
• Provenance: Documented UK delivery, period photos or club history elevate desirability.

Conclusion

The UK market recognises a modest early/late split for the CB77. Projects typically change hands around £1.9–3k (early) or £1.7–2.7k (late). Usable roadworthy riders achieve £3.8–5.5k (early) and £3.3–5k (late). Collector-grade originals or high-quality restorations sit in the £6–8.5k (early) and £5.5–7.5k (late) brackets, with the very best, highly original UK-registered examples achieving the top of these ranges. Buyers consistently pay for correctness, provenance and an unmolested spec over cosmetic shine alone.
