I bought one, exactly like the one in the video, off the showroom floor in 1973 when I was a senior in highschool. I rode it halfway across America and back (twice); plus all up and down the East coast. 400-500 mles a weekend was not unsual for me. It was way smoother and faster than my friends 350 Twins. It never broke down, never left me walking. I put over 38K miles on it, traded up to a 400 CMT in 1980. I have owned many bikes since then but I would glady ride the 350 Four again with pleasure.
Fantastic, I bought one in Rotterdam in 1990, a complete wreck at the time for about 80 dollars. Completely restored the engine, the frame and body and got it running. I didn't even have a motorbike license. It easily ran 110 miles and hour.
I had one of these in the early 80's! My buddy had a new Suzuki 450 that would blow my doors off but in the top end, the mighty 350-four would catch up with him. Many that brings back memories - thx for posting!
Honda made some sweet bikes in thoses days, the others too, Suzuki and Kawasaki triples, Yamaha with their 2 stroke twins. Wandering through the shops in 1974 was way better than looking in a museum today. Even today how often do you walk through the local bike shop looking over each model carefully taking mental note on how well they are constructed.
I had a new Red CB 350-4 back in 1973 it was my second bike ,loved it so many memories seeing this video If you want to make your pipes last ,from new soak them on the inside with fishline oil ,and hang them up to drain out for a while It stops them rusting from the inside out they will smell for a while when they are on the bike ,but is worth it in the end
I also had a red CB350F in 1973, but it was my 3rd Honda. I had a white 1965 SPORT 50 CUB in 1968 and my 2nd bike was a 1969 orange CL175K3, the SCRAMBLER MODEL WITH THE HIGH MOUNTED FENDERS. GREAT BIKES...
Just bought one of these this summer. I live in Northern Canada, the machine has 22,000km. Completely rebuilt in 94 by a helicopter mechanic, then parked the next year, sat in an unseated garage since. I’m really looking forward to getting it back on the road.
Am in Nova Scotia and i bought a 350 f a few years back from a fella in Vancouver. It was all in pieces so i put everything back together and it started on second kick. I drove it in the summer of 208 and 209. haven't had it going since 2012. where did you find proper engine parts? Am thinking about restoring the engine.
Restoring my '73 CB350 F (also olive green) with the European - only dull silver paint. Bought in 1996 with under 7K mi, ran like a Swiss watch that year.
Owned many of these. Restored and rode many. Had one with a Hooker header straight from the 70s. That hooker header was assume. The only hooker header for this bike I’ve ever seen. Going to build a 350four cafe bike after I get this KO 500four restored.
I've got the same bike. Mine has the perfect pipes as well. Luckily mine had the mud flap installed as well. I never really attributed the survival of my pipes to the mud flaps though. Great point and I agree. I wish I could share a picture here it is another beautiful example.
47mm bore, 50mm stroke, 36hp, 10,000rpm Redline and a max speed 86mph. Nice example of a Japanese Classic Guys. The color is "Bauccus Olive Green" and is a blue metallic base with a gold candy over lay to achieve the green hue. The CB350 Four was manufactured in 1972, 73 and 74, with the last year offering but a single midnight blue color. Although the grips are Honda, they are not "the" correct grips, which would be the raised fin grips. But...ungodly uncomfortable, so nice upgrade. My 1973 CB350 Four has 10,300 original miles and I have seen examples with over 40,000 miles still racking up miles at the clubs. Ultimately, the CB350 Four was not as well received as it's twin cylinder more powerful Brother, which is why the short run. About 60,000 examples were manufactured and eventually sold, but it was the CB500 and CB750 Four that really made a name for Honda in the early years. Good luck with the sale! Cheers! Zip~
The CB350 Four was actually a bit slower than the Twin counterpart but it was smoother and basically a scaled down CB750 Four but with pistons as small as pill bottles.
Great bike! I had a coworker with one for a little while.. not sure what she paid but I don't think it was much. Can only hope my rebel250 is this collectable one day.. lol
i built a bike like it for a buddy of mine about 20 years ago i really didn't want to build that bike because he was a very wild drinker i put it off for a few years but i went ahead and built that bike it was a basket case had to roll up the sleeves but it turned out to be a nice ride very fast no it was because he was doing over 100 when he went through a windshield ripped one of his hands off it was found over 200 yards away from the impact his right eg was ripped of right below the knee his face was on his shoulder and his chest was twisted around were his back would be i know because the day after i came home the pitchers were laying on my dads desk he was a cop that bike brings back a lot of thoughts
Kaplan Cycles New England Motorcycle Museum good to hear!! I'll be there all weekend.. usually come home fully loaded.... Van truck and trailer...lol . I have a problem..... Lol..
Jeff Ferguson like all Honda fours of the 70s, you had to keep the revs way up to get the most out of them, not much goes on below 6500 rpm. I had a 550 four for years. Got me everywhere and back. Never conked out. But keep those revs way up
I lived in Calgary in 73 I owned the exact same bike except I had a chrome plated sissy bar with a chrome maple leaf on the bar. Drove from Calgary to Victoria and back all mountain road driving. The Honda 350 four performed great. It was my first and last bike but I still enjoy hearing about motorcycles especially Hondas 350 fours
This was my first vehicle...a gift from my parents when I turned 16. Loved that bike.

I hate you, but love you. Shocks, Pegs, ... LUCKY !!!!

If you want to make your pipes last ,from new soak them on the inside with fishline oil ,and hang them up to drain out for a while
It stops them rusting from the inside out
they will smell for a while when they are on the bike ,but is worth it in the end

Just scooped one up last night in Atlanta,GA nice review on this bike!
That was my exact bike in High School. it was 10 years old when I bought it. The condition is unbelievable!!!

I have one in that color and the forks are still perfect but the tank has faded To that blue slightly. Perfect
My dad taught be how to ride on this model bike. So many memories!!
Even the 2022 cb 350 is amazing ‼️‼️
Beautiful machine + a reliable work horse 🔥🔥🔥🌟🌟🌟❤🔥
I have a 73 all original other than the exhaust. Really fun bike!
this bike got me through college. bought it for $99 at a garage sale.
The CB350 Four was actually a bit slower than the Twin counterpart but it was smoother and basically a scaled down CB750 Four but with pistons as small as pill bottles.
My first bike. It was red. I always liked the sound when it idled.
DON MENZA my first street bike also bought new in 73 mine was red and I just found a pic of it
Great bike! I had a coworker with one for a little while.. not sure what she paid but I don't think it was much. Can only hope my rebel250 is this collectable one day.. lol

Kaplan Cycles New England Motorcycle Museum good to hear!! I'll be there all weekend.. usually come home fully loaded.... Van truck and trailer...lol . I have a problem..... Lol..
Wonder what this would sell for? Anyone know?
found my dream bike
Soooooo sneaky and quiet 🤫
Did he say they sold a one with a seized engine for $3,000? No way.
whoever bought it was a dupe
wow fantastic motorcycle 👍👍👍👍👍🙏
these bikes had anemic power. They were actually slower than the cb350 twins. Still a cool bike though
Jeff Ferguson like all Honda fours of the 70s, you had to keep the revs way up to get the most out of them, not much goes on below 6500 rpm. I had a 550 four for years. Got me everywhere and back. Never conked out. But keep those revs way up
I actually laughed when he said " it's fast, faster then a twin."
Wow for high prices. I should sell the 4 of them I have!!
Anywhere close to Indiana? I’m interested
Nice intro i thought it was AC/DC
Insane
my first road bike (it was red)...
I lived in Calgary in 73 I owned the exact same bike except I had a chrome plated sissy bar with a chrome maple leaf on the bar. Drove from Calgary to Victoria and back all mountain road driving. The Honda 350 four performed great. It was my first and last bike but I still enjoy hearing about motorcycles especially Hondas 350 fours
my CB450 Twin was this color (green)...
Everything is so good about this bike, but uncle is not wearing helmet
I loved mine but FOUR flippin carbs is so dumb.
This bike will go anywhere for 100K miles - an easy sell for $8,000.00
外人が乗るとバイクが小さいねぇ。
Fast ....lol
Come on man
Love your videos, however get your camera guy to lay off the adderall. He’s all over the place.
