My old 350F

[the Ferret]

The guy I sold my 1974 350F to many many years ago, sent these pics last night. He finally got it restored and running. I had originally bought it for my wife to ride. She rode it one summer and decided she'd rather be my passenger so the bike sat for a couple years in our garage. Sold it to him for like $350. He kept it in his garage for 20 years and finally finished getting it restored and running again.

Beautiful, beautiful all around. The lump is gorgeous. Hard to believe each cylinder is less than 87 cc.

Wow! He did a beautiful job.

Looks fabulous! I wonder if the original 4 into 4 pipes (or reproduction pipes) are still available. They would complete the bike.

I had a CB400F SuperSport in the early ‘80’s. Its father was the CB350F and it was a fine little bike, but it gave me RD400 envy.

Beautiful! We had two of those, before kids of course. Loved it. It was my "dream bike" when I was a senior in high school.

That is beautiful! That would look lovely next to my cb1100!

Beautiful bike. Worth a lot more than $350 now!

David Silver in England has replica 4 into 4 pipes available . I had a black 350 F , they run like a sewing machine.

I bought one when I was a student at Evergreen State in Olympia Wa in 72. My wife took the 66 Chevy to work and I had the Honda. Rode it up to Fort St John on the Alcan. Running up 97 along the Fraser river. Great little bike. Was my last Honda until I picked up my cb1100. I had the red one too.

Wow, my buddy had one of those as his first bike!

My dad also had a green 73 CB 350F.

I never really enjoyed riding the bike, which is why it ended up sitting in my garage for a few years after my wife decided not to ride it, and then being sold cheap just to get it out of there. It was smooth enough, a real gem of engineering, but I found it kind of underpowered, and lack luster compared to the other bikes I was riding at the time.

Yep. My 400-4 didn’t have much torque. I imagine the 350-4 had even less.

Love the pipes!

There was a nice looking girl that rode one of these around my small town.

Always tried to get her to race my 1973 CB350 but she never would ... I always wondered which will be faster the 2 cylinder or the 4-cylinder?

 

[the Ferret]

The twin was faster, offroad

The twin was faster, offroad

Certainly I can see this being one of the lightest inline-4s around for offroad use.

Uh, I mean, “Let’s eat, Grandma.”
