had one of those (CB77) back in the late 60's. Which I had it now.

Yep. They have achieved some collector value by now but they were not high mileage motorcycles and many are worn out. They're still fun to ride, though a little bit small by today's standards. They sound so sweet unmuffled, at full song. Do I remember correctly that the CA and CB 72/77's had 180 degree cranks ?

Yes and yes. 180° crank and very sweet when wrapped up past 10K. Had a few that I'd love to have back.
