Honda CB description
Historical info: the Honda CB350F is not to be confused with the CB350. It is a four stroke, four cylinder, with a single overhead cam. The 350-Four was only manufactured from 1972-74, as Honda introduced a twin model that was widely preferred on looks alone, thus they created competition with themselves. It is known as the smallest capacity mulch-cylindar motorcycle to ever reach full-scale production, but don't imagine that this is a mini-bike. Though they are becoming increasingly more rare, they are a favorite of bobber enthusiasts and cafe racers (though I would hope this one goes to a nice home that doesn't want to sheer off any of its bits).
This bike: this 350-Four is almost completely original. The non-original parts are absolutely incidental (read on).
Color: The color is stock Flake Matador Red, which is one of two colors available that year.
Pipes: This is one of the few times I've seen original pipes on a 350-Four. You usually see straight two-into-one pipes on these for a reason. Though the original flared pipes as seen here are beautiful, they have a weakness at the bend that causes a hole to burn through. You can buy replicas of these very pipes, ride as is, or fix them yourself if you have the knowledge and the means. When I rode it, it made no difference whatsoever.
Tank: There is a little rust in the tank, which I attempted to remedy with Metal Rescue earlier this year. It is not so much rust that I foresee it causing problems or clogs, though someone who is a bit more meticulous might want to clean and re-line the tank.
Overall: The body and frame are in excellent condition. No noticeable dings, no dents in the gas tank, no busted light fixtures, or any of that. There is a bit of wear on the seat, which is to be expected after 40 years.
Title: original and clear with no liens.
Problems:
1. There seemed to be an electrical short soon into getting this bike, but I used a multimeter and pinpointed it... it was simply a faulty ignition switch. I replaced it and no more problem. So, the one non-original part I am aware of is the ignition switch.
2. When I got it, the previous owner had managed to snap the electrical start button off, so I had been kickstarting it. I got a wild hair to try and open up the electric switch box (left side) and had been working on getting a new button in there, but had an accident at work and broke one of my wrists... so I didn't get to finish that.
3. In my above attempt to work on the bike before I smashed my wrist, I was going to replace the air intake plenum filter box, but, again... two hands were necessary. I will include this filter box, though, and it's easy enough to install. Color me lazy :)
Feel: I admit I have not ridden this bike in months (not the grass lol), but it is a very smooth ride. A friend of mine who has a later model Honda said he
was jealous at how nice this bike feels and how easily it is driven. I have not started it up in about 8 months, but it was running just fine then, so I can't imagine things have changed much now.
Why am I selling: I am downsizing my property as I intend to leave the state in the next year and currently own this bike and a Goldwing. I use the Goldwing regularly, while this guy sits off to the side. I imagine I will sell the Goldwing once I am closer to the move, but since I a) don't have the spare time to maintain TWO motorcycles as well as I would like, b) do more long distance travel than not, and c) don't imagine moving with it, I might as well get it out before the weather turns too terrible for someone to enjoy this bike.
Transportation: You're kind of on your own on this one. I had all three of the motorcycles I've most recently own brought to me through U-Ship at fairly reasonable prices.
Extra details: Serious bidders from the contiguous United States only. The bike must be paid in full within 7 days of the auction end and off my property within 30 days. Failure to have this bike gone within 30 days will accrue storage fees of $30/day until it is gone. I'm not trying to turn a profit on this, I'm just trying not to accidentally become someone's storage lot. I hope you understand.

Taliban Magazine Condemns America but Praises Honda
Wed, 11 Dec 2013Manufacturers are usually glad to hear positive reviews of their products, but we’ve got a feeling Honda is not happy about the ringing endorsement it received from the latest issue of the Taliban-published magazine “Azan“. The English-language magazine is a pro-Jihadist quarterly; pure propaganda designed to recruit impressionable and disillusioned Muslims in the West. It’s somewhat jarring then to find buried within the radical rhetoric a full page spread on a 125cc Honda as one of the Taliban’s “Steeds of War”.
Stoner Blows Away Competition on Final Day of MotoGP Sepang Test
Thu, 02 Feb 2012To be the man, you have to beat the man, and after the final day of MotoGP’s pre-season test in Malaysia, Repsol Honda‘s Casey Stoner continues to be the man. The reigning MotoGP World Champion didn’t let lingering soreness from the back problems that sidelined him for the first day of testing at Sepang slow him down. On just his second of 21 laps on the final day, Stoner set a blistering lap time of 1:59.607, besting second-fastest rider Jorge Lorenzo by 0.591 seconds.While there’s still some room for improvement to be found his Honda RC213V, Stoner will turn things over to the engineers and fly back home to Switzerland to his wife Adriana for the birth of their first child.
