A third the price and a better bike
Oh wow that light compared to the 250 version is ugly.

Still 2 g over priced.
The 350 was well regarded in its day tbh i have never ridden one. Or even seen one in 20 years

Didn't the 350 crack heads between the valves?
200s were cute. I rode a mate's off my kdx and was shocked how bad the front suspension was and how mind alteringly fast it was. Not really. It was slow as a Monday afternoon when you realise Friday is a week away, probably longer.

The 200 were pretty well balanced, not rip ya arms out ,open country, but decent on the twisties. Far better than some of their parts

weren't the 350's radial heads that honda pretended to have invented despite Rudge doing the same in i think 1924?

That one was ,early ones were pentroof... rudge used to avoid the cracking with iron and likely bronze heads....
The pushrods made the valve arrangement easier, pretty sure not aoll v4 were radial only the better ones. the low bmep and the 6.5:1 comp would have helped longierty too.

Price is a little optimistic - but it does look fantastic - Yes please! I'd tap that.

Ahh he's made his own retro, I was thinking Vellachi (sp) frame? No hold on. . . Ahh!
Depending on the close up attention to detail and I don't think that is bad value if you want something that looks cool but usable. Certainly better than the factory efforts at retro bikes.

I like the look of that.A million times better than some of the stuff seen in this thread

Rubber bands to drive the cams instead of proper bevel gears ? It'll never catch on

You're right. My lathe uses proper leather belts.
