A 1965 CA77 is worth it's weight in gold. They don't make these any more it's a piece of history and a riding piece of art. I have one and a bit of tender loving care is all my old girl needs. I would lock your bike up before she disappears in the night. AS for the worth of your bike I,m saying a good $3500 in a 7 out of 10.

Jake, The thing about restoring motorcycles is you shouldn't count on ever truly getting back the full value, both in time and money of what was spent, with a few possible exceptions. The fact it has very low mileage (if verifiable somehow) is a big bonus, but most people I know do this for their own pleasure and satisfaction, and the "return" is not really expected to be overtly profitable. Honda made a LOT of motorcycles in the 60s and 70s, so a CA77 isn't really all that rare of a MC, but I would check with all sources that sell MCs for past sales figures (big auction firms, eBay, CL, etc.) If you are truly trying to do a "Concours" level restoration, you need to go 100% original down to the nuts and bolts, literally. I prefer to do what the car auctioneers Barrett-Jackson call "resto mods" in which you do restoration but with period-correct aftermarket modifications for better handling and performance. The only way to really make a profit on restorations is to have almost all the equipment (paint and/or powder coating booths, etc.) and not farm out anything except chrome, or look for NOS (new, old stock) parts to replace those that need chroming, and get the basic bike dirt cheap. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.
