1972 CB350 - All Original Bike with 5850 miles! These bikes are a blast to ride and not the least bit intimidating in the Horse Power department. $3995, if you happen to want this one.
I would rather ride a bike like this than a new Harley and I own two 1970's H-D's ( Newer ones are a joke ) I love these bikes ! I guess because these bikes have a lot of style and class plus a nice sound . Maybe because i have been working on these things for over 40 years. I don't like newer Motorcycles , no class , no heart and no soul . Trust me these older Honda Motorcycles have tons of soul . J-D
I used to have one of these motorcycles. I miss it so much. Nobody makes a bike like this, nowadays. Many a good memory on a Honda CB 350 back in the 1970s. I wish I had one now. Even the sound of it makes me wish I was twenty again. I miss my CB 350 so much.
They are getting more and more rare and more expensive. Back when I first got interested in these vintage Hondas you could buy them pretty often for $500-$1000. Now you get a rust bucket for that price. They are amazing motorcycles. I love the all mechanical systems of a vintage bike.
I had a 71 CB350. If I recall, the spec said the bike has 36hp @1,0600 rpm...but the tach hit the red line at 9,200rpm. I may be wrong but the spec indicated the top speed of 110mph, but I could only hit 92mph (speed meter indicated) at 9.200rpm and felt a lot of engine vibs on my hands & feet... The bike was very reliable and I had a great time when I was in high school. Such a great bike!!
As far as 'the most for the least' goes that HAS to be one the best motorcycles ever made: 105MPH+, light, sweet handling, reliable, economical and AFFORDABLE. It's the bike the British should have built if the pompous, self-satisfied twits who ran the companies had reinvested the profits of the 50s & 60s into NC equipment, R&D and staff training! A T100 Triumph that doesn't leak oil or break down!
They were just really lousy bikes. The Yamaha RD 350. Or the Kawasaki 400. Beat this by a wide margin. In speed and handling. Plus were way nicer than the Honda. I had SL 350 1972. It was a heavy off the road bike with little real off the road capabilities. The CB 350 was just a mechanical nitemare to keep running well. The Suzuki Samurai was the best in class .
After watching that beautiful, and beautifully running CB350 you have the unmitigated gall to say what you did? WTF is wrong with you? There's always gotta be one cucked Karen in the crowd doesn't there?
My first bike was a 1973 orange version of this bike. I rode it back and forth to college in 1975. I'm 66 now and would love to find another one like it. Could you do that?
Wow like new. I had one in the one year only color of Derby Green Metallic. Great machines 1968-1973 American baby boomers bought over 250,000 of them. 67,180 in 1972 alone. When I was in the Air Force in Mississippi our pay jumped from under 200 to 350 a month 🤣. Many airmen with their new wealth went to the Honda dealer and brought these back to the base. Automobile parking for enlisted was limited so these easily parked machines were just right. It was many an airman's main form of transportation off duty. Thank you for showing this beautiful machine.
I had one of these as well, bought used in 1978. It ran well but it was a bit disappointing in some ways. I was used to very fast two strokes like the Yamaha 350. This bike was slow in comparison. It also only got 50 mpg, which was disappointing. But it got me to work every day.
Had same bike, color and all. My first bike, bought in 1985. Loved it. Had for about 3 years then she died. Next bike was a 1978 Honda CX500. Loved at first then came to hate it. Noisy valves, hard to start. Next was a 1981 Honda CB750 Custom. LOVED IT but the rust killed her. Outdoor, no garage. Next was a 1991 Honda Nighthawk 750. Ran great until 2018 when intake valve stuck. Been sitting in garage ever since.
Hey, I had a cl350 in the 70s, with the upswept “scrambler” pipes. Doubt there were more differences, lol. Heavy, slow, but cool. Could get the front up with enough throttle and drop the clutch. Mine needed a valve job at some point which I tried to do myself, with on;y two stroke prior experience, and mangled all the super soft aluminum they used. What a mess. But fond memories for sure.
Dude why are you making us jealous? Who is in charge of polishing it? Many had this bike but few knew how to appreciate it, now they are looking for it but "the bird has flown".
When I was 15, I bought a used 1969 VL350 in 1973 for $350. It had only 4500 miles on it. Took it to the beach and parked it. When i came back, it was lying on the ground. Somebody hit and ran. Clutch lever busted, gas tank dented. I somehow managed to get it home. Went to a salvage yard and found a red '73 gas tank, just like the one in the video. Ordered candy apple red side covers to match. Looked more like a CB than a CL with the different tank, so I bought CB exhaust pipes to replace the scrambler pipes. Nice ride, could go 90 mph. Later added a bigger primary sprocket and it went 95 mph.
These are the original CB headers and mufflers. I would start your search on eBay and Facebook marketplace. They are getting pricey for a nice set thoough... If you're not a purist you could cut your mufflers off and attached new mufflers to the headers.
I buy 2-3 bikes locally when I can find them. If you're legit interested I actually just bought another '71 just like this one. I was going to make a video about it soon.
Had and loved that bike, same color, loved the back pressure when you let off to shift. Only drawback was it was no good on the highway, wound itself out and I was always looking for another gear. But for an in town ride, the best, no wonder a lot of them got turned into cafe racers, my gripe with that is ... Why did you have to change anything. Thanks for the vid. I built my first one from 3 frames and 12 boxes worth of parts when I was 16. I'm retiring soon and at 61 I'll do it again.
Bought mine for $85 it had one spark plug hole stripped, drilled and helicopter it put it back together and the thing ran brilliant. Also had Dunlop K81's and Koni shocks.
I have a royal blue and gold custom paint job , Yamaha FZR 250 3LN1 from 1989 . It is a four stroke four cylinder screamer . Good at the track and fits me nicely . I learnt on the 2KR from 1987 . What do you think of these ?
I would start by checking your timing (this is adjusted at the points) The procedure is described in the manual. Another simple idea is that your spark plug is fouled and needs to be replaced. You can actually remove the plug, put it in the plug wire and dangle it from the wire but touching the engine (so it is grounded.) From there you can kick the bike over and see the live spark arcing. If you see spark then you know it is not an electrical issue with a high degree of certainty.
i rode a 350 from ohio to california with a side trip from san fran to san diego in 1968.only snag was a carb running rich while at altitude in the mountains.70mph was 7000rpm--great little bike.
Greetings from New Zealand. I rode one of these bikes for eight years and loved it. I put a pair of after market "mufflers" on it and it sounded awesome. It made an amazing snarling sound when I closed the throttles at high rpm. My biggest issue was having to strip the engine down every 12,000 miles or so and replace the cam chain, rollers and guides. The rollers were rubber and would break up. Twice the cam chain sawed thru the channel between the cylinders that it ran thru and flung oil out all over the engine. Did anyone else have that problem? I wonder if I should have had steel rollers made. I now have a Kawasaki W650. (To me any bike without a parallel twin, or perhaps an inline four is not a real motorbike). I'm quite sure that my old 350 would eat the 650 on toast up to about 80 mph! I loved that bike and wish I still had it.
There are guys here in the states that race these bikes in a vintage class and have made some cam rollers to address exactly what you mention. Always fun to get in there and tear em down though. Awesome to hear you had fun on your!
Fours are too wide. I saw a quote once: "Real motorcycles have two cylinders and two mufflers." Sort of a take-off on "Real airplanes have two wings and round engines."
Just a stupid comment. It's a 350. You expect it to be like a 750? That POS 350 moved half of fucking America to and from schools and work. Very fun to ride and more reliable than a hammer. And cheap. Bought mine new for $829 and loved it.

JAWA has apparently released very similar machine, 350cc twin cylinder.
CB 350 has been released again for markets of India and Japan 😊 single cylinder, long stroke, single exhaust.
Check out some Royal Enfields
I miss being 20 !
I had a 71 CB350. If I recall, the spec said the bike has 36hp @1,0600 rpm...but the tach hit the red line at 9,200rpm.

Bought mine brand new for $829. I loved it. Thanks for making me feel like a was riding it again. I could "feel" and hear myself loving it.
I loved mine. Went everywhere with it. Still dream about finding it in a basement somewhere so that I could rescue it and restore it.
Had a dark green one...was a beast in the day
Time for you to get another! I've still got a "72 450 in the garage at the moment.
@@3ll3nwood I'm thinking your correct
Great adjustment on the mirrors.
I had a green one the 70s I loved it .toured Scotland and Skye with my late wife🚲🌞

I just sold a second red bike exactly like this and I have a 73 purple iris 350 and parts 350 in my garage right now. So yes!

My dad took me all over in the 70s on the back of his. Great memories👍🏻

Made in Japan.
Benchmark of quality by skilled labor.

BTW riding along with your feet on the back pegs while cruising around was so comfortable!
I had a 1973 model of cb 350. It was a nice bike.
and who could forget those awesome 350 Scramblers?!!

My first bike was a Honda SL350 I would love to find one
Hey I have a few questions on a bike I’m getting this weekend
Ask away my friend. And if I can't help there are many great resources all over the web for these bikes!

Question: Which position is the choke lever in when you cold start the bike. 6 o’clock or 3 o’clock? Sweet ride that.
Super gepflegt.
Durfte diese Maschine.
1975 in Berlin 3 Jahre bewegen.
Da war sie noch modern😊.
Tolles Video
If you ever find a 73 sl 350 let me know.
By the way mine was a gold 1970
I would love to have one of these but sadly i live in india laws for import are very strict here.
Needed an extra gear. Couldn't kill the engine with an axe.
これは？！CB350EXセニア？！
Nice classic bike, seems to pull well.👍
I agree. It was tuned quite nicely.
What year & what size did Honda first send cycles to theUSA
1959, from what I know it was the Honda dream and the super cub (50cc)
just bought one for $ 100.00 ,no title...
needs covers,
Sounds like a deal!
You'll be happy to note that Honda brought back the CB350 in form of the CB350 RS in India.
Please do not compare with CB350 Twin. Honda should launch 350 Twin in India instead of CB 350Rs to give competition to Royal Enfield.
My first bike was a Honda 350 twin but with a 360 six speed motor!
Great first bike
Classic bike
just bought one in great shape but i dont think the mufflers are correct,,, where can i find the ones your running
These are the original CB headers and mufflers. I would start your search on eBay and Facebook marketplace. They are getting pricey for a nice set thoough... If you're not a purist you could cut your mufflers off and attached new mufflers to the headers.
I love this bike I'm sure you have sold it, if you still have it do you have a site that shows your bikes for sale?
I buy 2-3 bikes locally when I can find them. If you're legit interested I actually just bought another '71 just like this one. I was going to make a video about it soon.
I had the 250, as my first bike, I called it 'Jigsaw' bcz it was always in pieces. I learned a lot about what not to do.
I know the feeling. I’ve had 2 (350 and 450) that followed me in pieces for years. I’m going to post the video of my customized 450 soon.
All original???!!! WOW. Brings back memories of my first bike, a '73 CB360 twin.
Fast bikes for the time those drum brakes soon start getting scary after some heavy use
Nice💛

I had the 250 but it was brand new not vintage
Nice bike, 350 is about as small as I like to go tho.
These were everywhere in the early 1970's. Even in high school parking lots.
I have a royal blue and gold custom paint job , Yamaha FZR 250 3LN1 from 1989 . It is a four stroke four cylinder screamer . Good at the track and fits me nicely . I learnt on the 2KR from 1987 . What do you think of these ?
You've got '71 (*K3) badges on your air filter covers. Sounds great and looks great!
My old neighbour over revved one of these and learnt the hard way , a money shift by accident then 16k rpm , let go .
How can get one motor o this moto?
You’ll have to explain more I’m not able to understand what your asking!
I have a 74 cb360. Absolutely love it!
This is over a year old is the bike still available?
I want it $3995.00 out the door 🚪
I have a 74 cb360 and my left cylinder recently stopped firing. Any chance you know a solution to this problem?

@@3ll3nwood thank you,the highlight of the trip was riding the coast road from san francisco to L.A.
beautiful example
This is how much
Sweet bike
Love mine
superb!

Thank you. Ended up selling it to a nice guy in Florida.
i had blue one nice
Blue sounds nice. I had a maroon CL, so ugly.

A big bore single 2 stroke is a real bike! I just bought a 75 cl360 last weekend. Can’t wait to get it running!
@@blakeepperson3902 You aren't kidding. Congrats on the 360. These old Hondas continue to get harder and harder to find in good shape.
That’s a common problem that’s why mine parked
Fours are too wide. I saw a quote once: "Real motorcycles have two cylinders and two mufflers." Sort of a take-off on "Real airplanes have two wings and round engines."
Is it still for sale?
I sold it back in October!
Relaunched in India
Great bike but I stopped 30 seconds in because the music sucked so bad.
Constructive criticism
You have just now hurt my feelings.
Heavy, underpowered, useless on the highway
Like your mother!
