I love these classic road bike videos.
That machine is money in the bank.
To think I was two years old when that was brand new. Now I feel old.
My brother was 17 years old in June 1972 as he was a senior in high school my parents granted him the Okay to buy a motorcycle (this model 350 HONDA) to get to class each day. Of course his inexperience got him and a buddy on the back in trouble leaving the campus one day for a quick spin at lunch break. BANG! A crash pulling out of the school parking lot cost his buddy a fractured leg but in the end everyone was still fine, alive most importantly, just not kicking too well. The school tripping became an item of contention as you might imagine.
Edit:
p.s. Coincidently as a Junior in the same high school a couple years later, my buddy had a 350 HONDA with a custom lace painted fuel tank that I rode into San Francisco Bay... My Pop was so cool when he came to the rescue us that afternoon.
My friend and I were cutting classes to so he could teach me how to ride, TALK about a scenario that one lived hoping desperately was a dream as I surfaced after being dunked going head over the handle bar diving and submerginmg under water ... how I didn't break my neck... BTW that has been my only time ever in 50 years since to attempt riding a motorbike. Sad story I know, but a great tale to tell your grandkids... kind of a life lesson... NOT REALLY! I hope you're laughing believe it or not my friend said it was the funniest thing he'd ever witnissed.
I was eight! Imagine how I feel...
You feel old? I graduated from HS that year.
In ‘76 I went to buy a CB350. My dad said it was too small and I should buy the 750. Back then 750 was a very large bike. I settled for the CB550-4. It was a great ‘settle’. Miss those classic Hondas.
Good choice,I had the same bike and preferred it to the models that came later. Great machines from a great era.
Thinking back….I bought it in early ‘77. The salesman said they had a ‘76 “still in the box”. I had no idea bikes were shipped in boxes. Live and learn.
They were smooth. In 76 I had a 1973 750 4 and a buddy had a new Sportster. The Sport vibrated alot! I was glad I had the Honda.
The 350 4cyl is screamer with red line over 10000 rpm.
My first road bike was a CB550F. Smooth, reliable, decent handling. Wouldn't mind another one now, nearly 50 years later.
i can tune a stock cb550 to out run 1000s of the same years in the 1/4 mile and embarrass the hell out of 750s of back then
I put 35,000 miles on mine riding it full time, (no car,) in Colorado for 4 years. My all-time favorite bike. Mine had a half-fairing. I did everything from playing in the dirt in northern MI, and power-sliding on gravel roads in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, up to the top of the 4WD trail over Hayden Pass on the Continental Divide, and ridden as much as 1,100 miles in 16 hours in the rain and snow on I-80. I rode mine from CO to MI half a dozen times, (probably more,) just adjusting the chain at a rest-stop in eastern Iowa each way.
They are NOTHING like the 350 twins! The old CB-350 twins are top-heavy, uncomfortable, and incredibly hard to handle by comparison. That bike you have is the quietest, most comfortable bike in the world, although I don't know how quiet they are with only 2 mufflers. I got mine ported and polished for just a bit more punch, but it was still so silent that when sitting beside a car at a light I once in a while hit the starter thinking my bike had stalled. It hadn't. I rode it 600 miles one day, then went out dancing that night. Some Harley rider once asked me if I had a kidney belt. I asked him, "What's that?"
You did NOT pay too much for it. If I could still ride I would have paid $3K for it in a heartbeat. Get a windshield/fairing for it, and you will have a miniature Cadillac. Mine was so comfy I once fell asleep on it out on the interstate in the middle of the day. I'd set the throttle lock at 70 mph and leaned back against my sleeping bag, and woke up bouncing through the ditch. Kept it upright, but I was shaking like a leaf for the next 10 minutes.
Each piston is essentially the same as the ones in a Honda 90. Tiny.
I was at a light in Colo. Spgs when a guy in a Ferrari pulled up beside me. We just looked at each other and smiled, and eased away silently from the light. We had nothing to prove to anyone. Don't ever sell that bike, (although I bet you can easily double your money,) and do get the small fairing. It will be like driving a convertible around town. It is truly a collector's piece, not only because it is a rare classic, but because it is a jewel to ride. You can even put an extra tooth on the rear sprocket, and terrorize the tractor trails. You now own a magic carpet.
Love the bike. The 400 / 4 was very popular in the UK in the'70's. Honda also had a 500/4 a 550/4. Don't remember the 350/4. My neighbour in the'70's had a 500/4 on which he did an S&S big bore kit, gas flowed the head, high lift cam, and changed the 4 into 4 exhaust into a matt black 4 into 1 exhaust. That thing flew and sounded beautiful. Carb balancing was tricky, and he had problems with the exhaust studs shearing off. They also did a 750/4, 900/4 and a CBX1000/6. Sadly, he passed away on the CBX, but I have good memories of him from those times.
Hi, I understand that the 350 four was not imported into the UK by Honda. Maybe it would have clashed with their 350 g5 twin? Just a thought but not a statement of fact.
@@awtistiaeth4699 I vaguely remember a 250N super dream and a 400n super dream, both twins with Comstar wheels. They did have a 400/4 which was loved by many as a Swiss watch but not massively popular , because at the time , if you passed your test for 250 , you could buy any capacity and big bikes didn't cost much more
@@Pat14922 It sounds like I'm slightly older than you, but not by much (62)The super dreams were modern for me and came after I'd started biking, so yes, I too rode stonking 2-2stroke (Yamaha yds7 250) that was 'worked' on to be slightly quicker (not as much as I though most likely).
You're right about the lax laws in those days though. It was mad that you could take a test on an 80cc motorbike and then jump onto a 6-cyl 1300 cc Kawasaki or some other monster machine, but it was equally mad that we could get on a 100mph plus (just) 250 with no training or experience whatsoever, (I had at least learned on an FS1Y Yamaha sports moped). It was bloody great fun though! haha
@@awtistiaeth4699 Unsure if thats true, I have a 350 and it isn’t registered as an import?
@@Frz45 @Frz45 OOO. I'm happy to be corrected, and glad I prefaced the comment with a caveat ("as I understand it); I'll go and do some 'digging', as that was always my understanding.
Were they only imported for a short while then? I remember the 500/4 (rode a black 1973 one) and the G5 250/360 and of course the later 400/4 which was a pretty little thing. My mate had one and I rode it often and it was silky smooth. I preferred twins though and purchased a metallic brown and gold CB-500T that was very smart. Everyone took the piss and said they were shite but I loved it. I rode it around France for my honeymoon (took the wife lol) and used it as part of my 'fleet' as a despatch bike.
Still riding now and using an ER-5, but with two buggered hips it hurts to put my feet down as the seat digs in where they're damaged. Unfortunately, time for a cruiser so I can step through to mount, instead of swinging my leg over, which also hurts. The Suzuki Savage has a low seat height and would suit my riding style these days (sedate with an occasional blat), so that' a possibility when I have some cash. I'm also trying to reinstate my 2-wheel drive Dnepr MT-16, a Ukrainian outfit/trike that I can clamber over to get on and off and that has no need for putting feet down when you stop.
Thanks for the info.
You did NOT pay too much for this bike! What an amazing find!
I honestly wouldn't of tried to get it cheaper. More than fair at 1500 bucks w a title in that condition....he's lucky it didn't insult the guy...I would of been insulted.
I mean...you tube is paying for it 🤣 ...
@@dopeman420 To be fair he was just asking if he was firm, not like he lowballed him
Yes, I have a mint 72. They are easily worth $5K+ nowadays.
Agree... not even close of paying too much...
When you opened the first carb bowl I was expecting Mustie1 to get in and shout "brown goo!" 😂
No Mustie would talk about it for an hour so he could drag it out over 4 episodes.
I can't stand mustie
1:20, no, that's not an original seat cover. Great find, didn't know there was such a beast!
Yep, the original had a cross hatch pattern on it.
@@OneWildTurkey, My first bike at 17, it was the first production bike to redline at 10K. I had a older friend who raced bikes & was a top notch mechanic. I asked Ken with zero miles on it, whats the best way to break it in. I listed to him to the letter, out of 4 -other 350 Fours in high school I walked away from them all, top speed was 115 mph laying down. I would go through the gears slapping the tach needle off the 12K peg. It would sound like a miniature F-1 engine & whine. Much , torque I'd burn 100' rut in the pavement, I blew off a lot of other bikes, except the F-2 -F-3 two stroke Kawasaki's as they both had the quarter mile records then. I loved it for a first bike & she brought me to heaven's gates & back again......haha
Love your video's and greatly admire your incredibly patient approach to diagnosing and solving issues that have had the previous owner beaten.
You are living proof that this 62yr old biker will never be to old to learn something new. Keep up the great work.
I had one in 1975. Road it back and forth for 3 years...wish I had never sold it...lucky find.. hold on to it...
First bike I ever rode. 74 350-4. I was in middle school. Dad asked if I wanted to sit on the bike. 😂 little did he know I read a book how to ride a motorcycle in the school library. He was so pissed but it was so much fun.
Home run for a non-runner! I owned and road one for 5 years. It is very smooth riding as a single rider. Carb synchronization is a must.
Man, gotta love those old Honda four cylinders, I had two different 750-4's , and a 550-4 and all of them ran like a top. One of those 750's and the 550 my Uncle rebuilt from the ground up, including the paint too. And I tried years ago to get a 750-4 auto from this old man I knew, that bike was superb too, he didn't ride it very much but he would not turn loose of that bike for nothing.
Interestingly, the later Honda Hawk 400 Hondamatic was faster than the 750 auto!
I had a 750 auto, or should I say semi-auto like the little trail bikes,I would foot the shifter once from a stop,would drink my pop with open face helmet with left hand,I rode it everywhere ,just sold it after a few years,working fine when I did,typical Honda
I worked for a Honda shop in sales back in the day and I really liked this bike Someone traded a 350 in on a 750 and I got to ride the used 350 quite a lot. Smoothest bike ever!
Love watching those old honda videos. I had a 72 cb350, a 71 cl175, 81 cx500 (smoothest ride ever) and currently still have a 74 xr75 brand new bought by my father. Old Hondas can't be beat.
I had one of these machines in the early 80's in New Zealand - same colour and all. All I can say is that they were a fantastic bike to ride, and I loved it. Thank you for showing this one. Brings back many amazing memories.
Love how thorough you are I'm a retired Police Officer and old old Ford Mechanic you keep me entertained as well as Sleeperdude
Thank you for another new video, keep up the great work. Love what you do and I have learned alot from your channel, I have worked on all kinds of engines and stuff in my free time and your channel has helped me out alot. Great work and that is a nice lookin Honda.
That was my first street bike. Dad gave it to me when I was sixteen in the mid 80’s. I left it behind when I left for the Air Force and wish I had it today. Thanks for the memories!
Great score on this 350-4! Runs sweet, minimal work to get it running. Cool video, thanks Joe!
Nice! I had a cb400f for years. Electronic ignition upgrade was worth it.. no more points. The weakest point of this motor is the cam chain adjuster. It strips or breaks. They always sound good under load. You called it- perfect city bike. 3rd gear is great! 65 feels like 100 :). I did get a pinch flat once when pushing it in the twisties. Yours is perfect just the way she is! Always great work. Nice win after that YZ :)
i’ve got a 75 CB400F i revived 16 years ago after it was wrecked in 92 and left under a tarp until I got it in 07. the 400 replaced the 350 so they’re very similar. sounds just like mine down to the noisy cam chain. These little bikes are so incredibly tough too.
This is a once in a life-time bike right there. Take your own advice and never sell it. Just imagine if you could find a new-old-stock tank, OMG.
If I wasn't so far away I would buy it off you in a heart beat.
That sound is intoxicating, it took me straight back to the seventies, I was ginning ear to ear.
Can’t believe you’re actually working on this! I had a new 1973 but mine was red. I was 16 years old and this was my second motorcycle, started on a Honda CL100. Loved it, but then sold it when I went into the Navy in 1974.
Just got mine back on the road after 26 years, I love her even more now. Definitely don’t sell her, they are a true classic 👍. Great interesting video too
Joe you do in one video what some of us would take a month to do. Very inspiring my friend! Keep up the great work
I was surprised how good it sounded. As for the spark plugs, I've heard honda jetted their bikes lean. Since they also looked different It would be a good idea to sync them.
Various jets were partially blocked, thise cylinders would run lean.
Brings back lots of memories. I had a clone of this one between 73 and 75. Small enough to get in places the bigger ones couldn't and just big enough for the freeway in SoCal. Would occasionally take it from San Bdno to San Diego but my feet and butt would be numb by the time I got there. Glad you're thinking of keeping it, it should be good for years to come.
Great find, nice to see a road bike getting some TLC particularly this valuable survivor classic. Reminds me of my 1974 CB500four, so rewarding to work on. Old Hondas never die.
Back in the day we took our bikes wherever we needed to go. On road off road, thats a great bike too have fun with. Fun video. Glad it went well. We were all praying for ya.
Beautiful and smooth running bike, an awesome score!! She’s definitely a keeper!
Now that brought back some memories for me! I had a CB450 twin (can't remember the year) I paid $250 for before restoring and painting it. Boy, did that thing vibrate! Long trips were a pain! I traded it on a 650 four-cylinder that I rode for a while. Man, it was smooth! In 1981, I traded the 650 for a new V45 Magna (750) with water cooling and shaft drive. That was my last bike. The most fun bike I had was probably the Kawasaki KE250. I rode it on trails, but also rode it to work. I bought it used for $450.
I spent my HS years on my 1973 350 four. It's bullet proof, so don't be scared to keep it red lined. It was Mr Honda's pride.
Loved today's video!! That bike sounds amazing for $1500
Always wanted one of those. Worked on a lot of them. The 350 twin was actually faster but they were as smooth as a sewing machine. One of the few Honda models I never owned being a Honda service tech for 42 yrs.
It's a smooth fast little bike & can cruise all day. I beat a 350 twin before but not the two strokes. Top speed I achieved with mine was 115mph, flat road from Orlando to Coco Beach to go surfing. I almost chit, I thought I heard him say 15K for the bike...haha $1,500 is a good price I paid $1,000 brand new in 1974 with zero miles on it. I even shagged on it, Gf loved it. Thats what she got for telling me I couldn't do it .I would ride it from sun up to sun down, a little saddle sore, but I would walk it off & ride again. I wanted the 750cc, but mother wouldn't co-sign for it. Whatever beats hitch hiking with all the freaks & weirdo's on the roads. I told her I'm packing a 6" fillet knife for protection & pulled it from my pocket at the Honda dealership, sold she said we'll take this one...haha Metallic Blue Black it would change colors in the light.
Love the way that bike sounds, very impressive how it wanted to run and go again after your TLC
Sweet buy! I've wanted one of these for years but finding them in decent shape is getting harder and harder all along.
Seeing that bike sure brings back a lot of memories, Out of all the bikes I’ve ever owned the one I wish I had never gotten rid of. Was my 1972 Honda CB 500 Four or as I affectionately called my HondaHarley … I got it in 1985 and I gave it to a friend of mine before I moved in 1999… Undoubtably one the best bikes I’ve ever owned sure wish I had it back.. $1500 on that 350 is a great deal !!
It's amazing how many videos I have sat through of yours this week. You are a talented young mechanic.
Thank you for not insulting our intellect by asking us if we think it will run!! I'm 61 years old and when I was 16 I bought a Puch because I gave my car to my sister for her wedding present since her fiance blew up the engine in his car 2 days before the wedding! lol But anyways I lived in Woodland Hills and living there really helped make me fall in love with motorcycles.
I had the Puch for about a year and then I bought a Honda 250 and I loved that bike!! Of all the bikes I've owned that one was my favorite. Although the 1976 Norton 750 I had was awesome too although it was a bit heavier for a 170lb guy lol but that was expected with a bigger bike. I was gonna say I could swear there should be 4 exhaust pipes but you caught that! This turned out to be a great buy! I was surprised there wasn't a lot of ethanol gel in them bowls tho! At 49:40 is that a little hovercraft? That's cool! Enjoyed it!
I had a black 74. It got sold on the family farm auction. I loved that bike.
Wow! My first road bike was a CB200, it was my Dads and he gave it to me for my 17th birthday, 17 is the age we can get our learners for a motorbike in Australia. I rode that thing for years, doubling my mates and my first wife, I don't think I ever gave it an oil change, I didn't maintain it at all actually apart from adjusting the chain, brakes and such, unfortunately I rode it in to the ground, so nice to see a young bloke like you having respect for such a fine machine, much love and respect from Australia 🇦🇺
love these bikes. I was born in 1971, my dad had a 1973 cb350four. his had green but the pinstripe was goldish. They made the 350s for shorter guys and gals. My dad is only 5foot 2.
I had a CB350 twin and a friend had the 350 Four. The four was fun to ride, smooth, and quiet. When we rode them places and "raced" a bit, the twin would beat the four every time. Probably lower internal friction and better breathing with the twin. The air filter on the four never sealed right and was too small. It was always clogging. The twin had two huge air filter s one each side. I remember helping with carb issues on the four and it was a nightmare to get it apart - no room. Valve adjustment was not easy either. Watchmakers wouldn't have any trouble but gas axe artists like me had difficulty. The fours do have a cult following and I am told owners get gouged massively for carb kits and other maintenance parts vs other bikes.
CB350 was a slow heavy bike
@@richarddegen6184 The CB350 Four was/is. About as fast as its much lighter grandfather - the CB77 - a 28.5 hp, 305cc twin (1961-1966). . . with a four speed. In its day, it would beat both the BSA and Triumph 500cc twins to about 60 mph. And dependable? I rode one from Sherbrooke, QC down to Atlanta - ajusted the valves - and rode it back home. All highway miles - avg. 75+ mph - not a glitch. And @ 72 mpg, love to have one today.
Rubber-side down, Richard.
In 1976 that was the dream bike of mine. As I had little money, I had to settle for a 1972 Honda CB 175k as my first street bike. Loved her a lot and after putting 16k on her I moved up to a 1973 Honda CB 500 four a year later. Then got my 750F just a year after that. Honda motorcycles for the win. Still have the 750 and she is my baby sitting next to my CBR. Always had to buy used as I'd rather be riding then working!!! LOL
If I could I would like this video 100 times. Great find!! She’s definitely a keeper!!
Thank you, another great video. My buddy had a similar one in the mid-70s and brought back many happy memories. Imagine the WORLD of difference these bikes were vs. the era of AMF Harley's (= Junk). 🐶Take it to the land, away from Vinny doing quality control
WHAT A GREAT LITTLE HONDA👍all the BEST from WALES UK
When I was a sophomore(1980) in high school, a senior I knew had one. It was orange and he had removed the stock mufflers and replaced them with four VW pea shooters. Sounded pretty cool to me.
Looks like you had a great experience with that one. Calling it a keeper makes a lot of sense based on your ride comments. Keep going and make it beautiful!
Nice find! I picked one of these up last spring! really fun bikes to ride and very collectable!
Very sweet bike man great find can’t wait to see it running and driving 🤟🤟
What a sweet ride.....great fix you did!!! Good luck with it man!!!
This is so cool...My Uncle had one of these....I used to ride it to work in the early 80's. As I recall this was the smallest 4 cylinder street bike Honda made.
I’m a sucker for the old 2 stroke street legal bikes but these are a perfect bike to learn on if it’s on the grass it should buff out haha keep up the good content man!!
These Honda fours are some of the best bikes ever made. I had a later 400/4 and it was superb. I would balance the carbs though, well worth the effort.
Richtig, die Synchronisation der Vergaser sollte noch gemacht werden. Es wird ein neues Erlebnis sein!
Great find. Love the old CB350's ... great memories.
Always love a vintage Honda !!! I did a 68 cl350 . Start right up !
That bike is definitely a keeper. It's perfect for Jade, and then you'll have a street bike partner for when you ride the trike. Thanks for another great video.
It’s so cool. I completely forgot that they sold those. Each cylinder 87.5 cc. Nice buy.
My grandfather had 2 of these. Grandma sold his last one after he passed so my brother and I wouldn't fight over it. Still to this day my favorite sounding motorcycle.
Love hearing that sound again! There was nothing like the 400/ 4 super sport when it first came out. This one's exhaust note sounds exactly the same. The only thing this is missing is the turn signal beeper!
Wow that one was so cool man. Glad to one with minor issues for ya this time!....worth every penny.
My dad bought a new 76 CB400F. It was my first street bike in the mid 90’s. Loved that thing!!!!
Not surprised that it started right up. Honda's from the 70's are so well built they can stay years without running and all it takes is clean gas and carb. The 350's four are great candidates for Cafe Racer conversion. Here's a little tips for you, you probably know it already but anyway. When connecting a battery it is good practice to connect the positive first and negative second, this way if you accidently touch the frame with the screwdriver you will not short the battery since the negative is not yet connect yet. To disconnect you disconnect the negative first and positive second. Great work love your vid.
My first bike back in 1987 was a CB350 four. Cost me a princely $350 in clean, good running condition.Way better than the twins.
I also picked up a CB400 Super Sport for $175 bucks. That was a fun bike.
They were so cheap back then we would beat the crap out of them, throw it away then buy another. Who knew someday they would be worth something.
The old 400/4 with the four into one exhaust sounded awesome back in the day
Great bike, I road a cb400f in San Fan back in 1981. Fun , needs to rev. You should add the correct chrome headers and the four chrome mufflers.
Great Year😁, like watching your vids, and how much you do things the right way, I've learned a lot..👍🏻👍🏻
The first bike I bought in 1978, Same color, great bike to learn to ride.
Nice work! Really good looking bike for its age.
My first street bike in 1985 at the age of 14 yrs old. Mine was a 1973. Traded it for a 1975 550Four at 15 yrs old. The 550four would outrun the 750Four till 4th gear then come up short. Vetter faring and tour pack. They had no other sound. Awwwwwww Memories!! LmOldao. Keep up the good work!! Peace
Contact the National Motorcycle Museum located in Anamosa Iowa. They may be interested in it for display. Last time I was there they didn't have a 350Four.
that was sweet, and such a classic. thanks for sharing with us!
That's cool. I've a friend who has a red one. He lucked out getting an old school Honda master go through it. Rare bike for sure. Love your videos...
What a find! Owned several Honda 4s in the seventies but never even saw one of these. Doesn't surprise me how well it runs, or how good it sounds. I always liked those 4 bulbs in the display for some reason, such a trivial thing but I still like them just as much now. Motorcyclists are like that,we relate to the machines in all kinds different ways. Love the video, thanks!
Love this bike, great find. I understand that you are going to keep it. Nice honest guy you bought it from and a great deal, 1.5k, fair price.
I really like it when you work on the older stuff...
I like your enthusiasm on this one. It looks good ,sounds good. Hint you can’t keep everyone. You got projects to do.
Reminds me somewhat of my first bike, Holly Green '79 CM400T 2cyl. Mice, grrr. Stored my 650 Yamaha Maxim at a buddies and the mice ate half my seat. Glad your mouse was more considerate ;) Really appreciate your vids.
I’m currently working on a 72 cl 350. Been sitting for over 30 years.
Sounds great The lady down the road from me had one that she used to race. Those bikes boogy brother.
💪💪💪👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦
I had a 1971 CL-350 I bought when it was a year old. The CL redlined at 10,500 rpm versus the CB twin that redlined at 8,500. 5 of us that were in the same squadron had 350 CLs. We’d ride roads along the Maine coast on weekends in the summer.
I am not a Honda guy but this was a great score! You usually do not get ones this easy to get sorted.
That was my favorite bike I had one and drove it across the country very smoth and ballenced 10,000 rpm no problem cruse 70 to 80 mph rode it 100 miles with no hands so ballenced
I had the 450 Honda. Bought used rode thru college and then sold! Great bike/deal you got there! 👌
All those Hondas you have look really purposeful . I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on with the two Goldwings . Great stuff . Do you ever come across Allstate scooters ? Vespas , Zundapps , Puch , Lambretta ? I'd love to see you work on them .
I had one of these bikes when I got out of the army in 1976. I had a lot of fun on it. My dad liked it so much he bought one too. I had the green one like yours and he had the candy red one.
I have a 73’ and I love it! Great find! As noted by others though, definitely not the original seat.
I really like watching... the close up video helps a lot too...thx
A finely made machine……the top end sounds soooo quiet…snappy as well..nice ride …
Worked at a Honda motorcycle shop in Irving Texas from 1971 till 1984. Bought a used 350 four cylinder in 78 or so. Very smooth running bike.
I would love to get a old school CB750. The 350 you have is a beautiful bike
Love the chanel...love the bike...makes me want to try my hand at getting an old bike up and running...great fun to watch.
I had a few of these I was picking up in CA and getting them running and flipping. they are fun bikes! very classy looking too.
My late Father owned one of these in the mid 70s,his view that it was beautifully smooth but needed to be revved high to get it to perform Auckland New Zealand 2023
Sounds incredible, reminds me of a mild ninja zx25R, for 1500 bucks I think you got a smoking deal, you definitely didn’t overpay in my opinion. Great looking bike brother!
love the look of that bike! Gotta love when a simple carb clean does the job.
I had the CB550 it was a great bike.. Thanks for the in-depth trouble shooting
Wow... Nothing like a sweet vintage roadie... How great it is to work on a bike with a center stand!!
That was a steal at that price, those engines do space miles. A true style of motorcycle, beautiful 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great bike and you got it for great price enjoyed your video. Thanks
Always loved the air-cooled Honda CBs. Best buddy had the CB250 Superdream in 1980 which back then you could ride at 16 on a provisional (learner's) license in the UK without taking the full bike test. When the new law came in two years later he passed his test and took me on a camping holiday on it (yes on a lil'old 250). I had a CB125 Superdream for a while followed by a CBR400 Japanese import pocket rocket, red-line at 14,000!
