Complete bike
The Honda CB350F is a four-cylinder, four-stroke, 347cc motorcycle based on the larger versions of the day (CB750, CB500). The motorcycle was manufactured by Honda in Japan from 1972 to 1974. At the time, the CB350F was the smallest capacity four-cylinder motorcycle ever to enter into full-scale production. Soon after production was discontinued, it was replaced by the CB400F. Although Honda had a 350 Twin that critics said was more powerful, lighter, and cheaper, many felt the 350 Four was faster and smoother running.
This bike was originally registered abroad and has been in the UK since April 2000, and has been owned by the vendor since 2020. The bike is generally in good condition and it starts and runs, but the vendor informs us that he thinks that the carbs require a bit of setting up correctly. It has a non-original 4 into 1 exhaust system but apart from that looks to be pretty original. It comes with 2 keys and V5 and is registered as a Historic Vehicle so doesn’t require an MOT. The 350 Four is quite a rare bike as it was only produced for 2 years so numbers are limited, so this is a great opportunity to obtain a great little classic.
