Selling my fully restored 1967 Honda CL77 305 scrambler. This particular CL77 is especially desirable being a 1967 model with the very rare/limited chrome fenders. The 67' year models also came equipped with larger drum brakes and an integrated muffler.

Prior to restoration, this CL77 started as a very nice original bike with low miles. It received a full nut and bolt restoration and truly no expenses were spared. It was fully disassembled (including the motor) and every part was either re-painted, re-plated, or polished. The motor was fully disassembled and rebuilt with new seals, bearings, bushings, rollers, etc. If it was worn, it was replaced with the proper OEM or NOS part. The motor is as good as new (with just over 500 miles since the rebuild), it runs perfectly and starts on the first kick. The wheels were rebuilt with stainless spokes, new bearings, tires, etc. All of the rubber items, cables, electrical items (ignition, coils, points, battery, light bulbs), brakes, chains, etc, were replaced with NOS or OEM parts. Every nut and bolt was either polished, re-plated, or replaced. This is not powder coat - it's professional-grade automotive paint. The color is a little different from the original - it has a metallic flake in it. I thought the original color was a little dull and I wanted the bike to pop a little more, and it really does now. I'm probably forgetting something, but essentially this bike is perfect.

Located in Walpole ME. Look on the auction sites (Mecum, bringatrailer, etc), they've sold for as much as $16,000...

Definitely a top quality restoration when your into those numbers. Approaching $20K in Canadian peso's, so buyer's are pretty thin on the ground. It becomes a labour of love and an experience in a no cost spared restoration, more than a get your money back when you sell the bike.

After a lot of contemplating, I’ve decided to put my CL77 back on the market.

How about "Bring a Trailer" since your in the US and there seems to be an abundance of buyers on there with deep pockets. Once into that price range you need a specific buyer/collector and not an average "JOE"
This year also seems to be a bad year for expensive bike/vintage car sales, given possibly the economy, or buyers reluctance for more expensive stuff. I sold one bike this year for half your asking and two others in the expensive range are sitting still. I am waiting if I can't get my price until 2025 for an improved economy and better times.
 
I am a BAT seller and this beauty just went through , not mine of course,but another beautiful restoration as well . I have a lot more that that in mine . Markets are sporadic , usually you sell your Sun vehicles in the spring and summer and buy in the winter. I thought this was too low . https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1966-honda-cl77-scrambler-5/

Located in Walpole ME. I'm looking to get $10,500. I know that's steep, but these have been skyrocketing in price and it costs a small fortune to restore these. Look on the auction sites (Mecum, bringatrailer, etc), they're sold for as much as $16,000...

Would you be interested in trading for a 1975 Norton Commando 850 Mark III Interstate?

Because most restored vehicles always miss cable routing for some reason.

And I think Mike meant "why is it not obvious to anyone?". While looking for a decent picture of the early Honda Motor Co. sticker on the steering head opposite the stamped frame number (prior to the soft metal frame number, later the VIN, tag), I found pics of a beautifully restored CL77 that was well done in every way except for a glaringly horrible and incorrect routing of the rear brake cable, which made it stick out like the proverbial sore thumb. How no one notices stuff like that on a detailed bike is beyond me too.

I have more opinions on fully restored vehicles, but in the interests of my sanity and the community here I will do the right thing and let it go.

Good luck on your sale.
 
It is available - if you’re interested shoot me a PM.
