    nah no pictures of a Choppa Reid wannabe posing with the bike though suppose give it time; actually you'd think if you were trying to sell something unrealistically you'd market it the best way possible by throwing up as many good pictures as you're allowed to showing the bike at it's best

    Yeah, I'd always thought a 5 speed 350 would go better than a 6 speed 400.

    Was having a look at the sellers feedback before It'd be proceed with caution...could quite well be a highly polished turd

    I saw that at a classic run a couple of weeks ago and spoke to the owner, seemed to think it was very collectable. Pays to get Beaded Wheels and trawl the classifieds.....

    I've got an evaluation booklet on Honda bikes and in the "nice idea but" listing they have the 350 saying as a little brother of the 500, the 500 was a peach and the 350 all revs & no action but when 400 came along all was forgiven
    Haven't read a Beaded Wheels for years....got a handful from the early 80s that'll probably be getting turfed out soon.

    The only advantage of the 350 is that it's age eligible for pre 72. Both have to be taken out to around 450 before they go. And recammed...and recarbed...etc etc etc....

    One running in CMRR got black flagged for laying down a smoke screen.... 350/4 apparently has oil ring issues.

    I suspect pre 72 is a dying class and with pre 95 coming on line pre 82 might be too.

    not any I ever rode either, the only thing in the favour of the 350/4 was the cb400 really didn't need the 6th gear.
    The 400/4 was a much better bike all around.

    Not sure what Grumph will say but he should know having built both, but I would expect a CB350 twin would be way faster and cheaper than a 350/4 racer with only the 350 four sounding a bit cooler.

    I know. Shame on them. Sullies the *industry*, although I'm thinking their just opportunistic cowboys.

    Now I'm depressed. I was hoping for a second there that mine was gonna be worth some serious coin when I'd finished the resto. It wasn't in much worse condition than that when I got it off trademe for $1... its not even gonna owe me $8k once I've finished a ground up resto.

    What's a decent condition one of those worth anyway (for insurance purposes)? $5k?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Now I'm doubly depressed. My 1969 CB350 would be worth $40K now...

    As I said to you on FB, Bro. Don't worry what it owes you, or what you spent resto-ing it. That clown is asking 8k for a totally fucked, huge mileage one. If you ever need a written valuation for your bikes for insurance purposes, I'm only too happy to help.

    Mines 37000 km unmolested except for Marving pipes. Paid 5k for it a couple of years ago
