The Plus
The Honda CB350 was destined for success. The Japanese brand designed this 325cc motorbike to rival the European benchmarks, offering a better specification at a much lower price. Capable of reaching 160 km/h and equipped with features such as an electric starter, it was both powerful and convincing.
The CL350, meanwhile, was the scrambler version, designed for mixed road and off-road use. With 33 horsepower available at 9,500 rpm, it offered solid performance and inimitable style. Today, these motorbikes are highly sought-after by collectors.
This 1971 model was first registered in the United States before arriving in France a few years ago. It has a French collector's registration. It stands out for its remarkable looks, recently restored with a superb Candy Gold paint job and numerous chrome elements.
Mechanically, the bike is just as impressive. Recent upgrades include new shock absorbers, studded off-road tyres and new ignition parts. The seller believes he is the second owner and that the 14,304 miles (23,000 km) displayed are genuine.
