For Sale: 1965 Honda Accord in Bennington, Vermont for sale in Bennington, VT
Vehicle Description This 1965 Honda CL72 comes from the model's final year, before it was replaced by the similar CL77 with a 305-cc engine.
The bike is presented with about 800 miles on a refurbishment completed in 2016, though with an original, never-rebuilt engine and no repaint.
The seller says the work was done with a combination of Honda NOS and correct reproduction parts, and he will provide a list of all parts used and receipts.
I found the bike in California after an extensive internet search for a CL72, which is about one tenth as common as the CL77, he says.
Since the restoration, motorcycle has been ridden only in good weather on smooth, paved roads.
It's not been on dirt roads or the highway.
It runs and drives as it should and lights and switches all work correctly.
I am selling because I do not use it enough.
In the early Sixties, as Honda was finding its way around the American motorcycle market, the idea of turning a street model into a scrambler seemed like the perfect thing to do.
Scrambling was a race on dirt, on a circuit that might look like a motocross track in its infancy.
So, for 1962 Honda took its CB72 Hawk, with its 250 twin, and gave it a new steel-tube loop frame to create a scrambler.
The bike could handle some light dirt riding, but it was really a street bike with a go-anywhere look.
Buyers liked it just the same.
