The CB1100 Community Forum

In 73 they actually made a CB350 I-4. Must have been some thimble sized pistons.

I had a chance to buy one recently but I was looking for a 2 stroke and passed.

Welcome to the forum cookiemech. Hope you love the bike!

I had a 73 CB 350Four as did my dad.His was a 74. I think Rboe has or had one too. From 75-77 Honda also made the CB 400F. That's the one with the snaky 4 into 1 the 2013 CB1100's pipes were modeled after.

My wife has a purty cherry '75 CB400F, I can't wait for the weather to be warm enough for her so we can ride our two red CBs together!

Congratulations cookiemech. Enjoy the new bike.

I owned a 73 CB350 four while I was in College in Olympia Washington. A true 12 month riding season. It redlined at 10,000rpms. I rode that bike to Fort St John on the Alcan Highway, up the Frasier River on #97. What a balls to the wall ride!
Congrats on the new bike cookiemech. I just bought a new 2014 late this fall. I'm near Oil City in Pa. We should get together this spring. You'll love a honda 4.

Not only that, but a few of those models also came in CL (mild scrambler), SL ("motosport," or mild on-road/off-road) and XL variants (later version of SL). Same engine, different packaging.

We never saw a SLX (think CBX in ADV garb). That bike would probably sell today lol.

LR, did Honda ever make an I-4 CL, XL, or SL?

Nope, not to my knowledge, at least not in the U.S. But they certainly stuffed that little 350 twin into a bunch of different looks (CB, CL, SL).

BTW, the CB's, CL's, SL's and XL's all had RLET's. It was the 70's, after all.

By the way, here’s a picture of an immaculate CB350 four I saw last year. Complete, it is to be noted, with Rubber Lever End Thingies.

Great pic, but wait....what are Rubber Lever End Thingies, again?
