    I think it is called a dutch auction or something like that. Have been part of running them a couple times for a club at an AGM. They can work well without all the hassle of people bidding against each other. Specially in situations where you want everyone to stay friendly after it all rather than driving up the price against each other...

    Now only 16K

    That's worth a bid if you want one, try and find another .

    You don't think 16K is a bit steep?

    60K, I like BMW's but really.

    " personally i think the 350 performs better with the 5 speed box than the 400 later version with the 6 speed. "

    Only someone trying to unload a 350 could say that.
    The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight underpants.

    You could get a lot of fantastic state of the art bike, at the BMW showroom for $60,000

    From an old 2 wheels magazine.....

    The Honda 350 four, what a shitbox. Total rubber band chassis with a powerplant that revved like crazy while remaining motionless in the process. Don't know what the disc brake was for, either

    Doesn't inspire me to pay $16k for one....

    I've ridden a 350 Four and owned a CB400F. Of the two, I would absolutely own another 400F - the 350 not so much.

    In fact the 400F is one of the two bikes I really regret selling in my life. The other was my first CB750K2
