Honda 350 Four for sale
SELLER SAYS: My recently-completed 1972 CB350F is for sale. I’ve done around 1200km on it now and it runs very sweetly. The parts, paint, repairs and plating total up more than my asking price – this was just a project I wanted to do. I can provide a list of parts and repairs, it is a bit long to fit it all in here. Obvious items are new tyres, rims, spokes, seat cover, shocks, paint and lots of chroming. Engine and carbies done. The reproduction 4-into-4 pipes are almost unobtainable at the moment. Lots of new electrical bits, all Stanley lenses, no repro there. The tank was split, repaired, re-welded and lined before painting. Speedo shows around 18,300km, but this is the third unit on the bike that I’m aware, so actual mileage is unknown. Included in the price is a package of parts (complete engine and carbs plus much much more), again too much to list. A pdf showing the full package can be emailed if you need to know.

EDITOR TERLICK SAYS: Honda could hardly believe its luck when the Honda CB750 Four went from being a toe-in-the-water marketing experiment to one of the most successful motorcycles ever released. Honda aimed to sell 1500 CB750s a year, when the bike was released in 1969. When it started to sell its socks off, they revised that figure to 1500 a month. (Honda went on to sell almost 500,000 in less than a decade!) No surprise that Honda quickly expanded the range to include a mid-size CB500 and the smaller-still CB350F. At the time, Honda was probably pinching sales from its own CB350 twin which was a perfectly competent and successful bike — but couldn’t match the Four for outright sex appeal. The 350F was only produced from 1972-74 before being replaced by the CB400 Four which looked “more modern” and dumped the signature four-into-four exhaust for a four-into-one, as was the fashion of the day. As a result, the four-pipe CB350F is actually a rare find. This lovely example of Brian’s is even more appealing than most, because he has spent all the time and money (ie: rather a lot) to bring it up to showroom condition. Very nice.
