1974 cb360

[cs363]

The 350 was pretty cool when it came out.
The 360 was a cool free zone.
It sucked the coolness from yer body.
If Steve McQueen rode a CB360 he would have ended up doing ads for incontinence pants after a career in daytime TV.

Yes! Very good description Oscar, I think most sane people that were around when those things were new would agree.
And just when you thought they couldn't become any more uncool, these appeared:

Remember them when they came out.....
The CB350 was a far better bike, in fact the CB400/4 was way better as a machine. IF my fading memory of them is correct they did have a posibility if slack for the camchain to eat it's way out of the barrels.
IF I was to opt for a 350-400cc other than an RD? I'd pick a Suzuki 380, CB350, or kwaka 400/3 or the CB350 or 400/4

I like em.

I owned one back in the late 80's, never a stunning bit of machinery but I had plenty of fun on the thing, I'd own another one just for shits and giggles.

Wouldn't the kickstart normally operate on the outside of the clutch housing? In which case if it's turning the gearbox but not the crank then it'd be a primary drive or crankshaft problem. I'd be starting there before I looked at anything else, to establish if it's a lost cause or not.

I bought a 1976 CB360 new in the UK during my big OE.

Got me all over Europe without a problem. Not an exciting bike but sure did ok.

My mate had a 76 Triumph Bonny at the time which had all sort of problems. The Triumph factory were having problems at the time though, so it probably wasn't constructed very well.

I wouldn't mind having one now for a laugh.

CB360s? I like em, ive got one I fully restored, fun steady bikes. I will admit that my Street Triple is a wee bit faster (gets to 130 mph in seconds, or so Im told). The old CB is cooler and I rebuilt it too. Hello all. Bob.

[HenryDorsetCase]

find me a running CL350 or CL450 and I wil buy it. I will divert money from the project I am involved in to do it.

What happened to the BMW?

[JimO]

i had a cb360 back in the day, traded it on a Z1r

[HenryDorsetCase]

What happened to the BMW?

can't find one. I think I can burgle $4k or so back from the project for a bike to play about with. Except I might have to buy a fucking container or two - not sure yet. containers are expensive. If I do, that idea's fucked.
