The Honda Superhawk CB77 is a 305 cc twin-cylinder motorcycle and was produced from 1961 until 1967 although there are some 1968-registered models. Honda also produced a 247 cc version called the CB72 Dream Sport, while in various advertisements referred to the 305 cc CB77 as a Dream Super Sport. The CB77 is commonly known as the Honda Superhawk not to be confused with the much later Honda VTR1000F Superhawk, or Honda305.
The 305 Superhawk proved so agile, powerful (the 1963 CB77 "Super Sport") and well-behaved
that it easily outperformed many of its contemporaries with higher displacements. It was capable of 90 mph (140 km/h) without the rider having to lie flat on the tank. Some argue that the advent of the CB77 Superhawk was the beginning of the end to the British bike domination in the field of street and casual race motorcycles. The quality and reliability were far superior. The oil-tight engine, electric-starter and 180-degree crank-throws were also major factors in its success.
