Not many orange 73 CB350s out there in that condition. 350s have gone up in value in the last several years since they're getting more rare. I attribute that to the racers that snap them up and they never see the road again. Is it worth that asking price, maybe. If it's absolutely perfect mechanically then yes but will anyone else be willing to pay his price? Offer him $1800 since you're out of town and it needs new tires and see what he says. This bike should be kept stock and original, it shouldn't be cafed beyond the possibility of returning it to stock.

Is that the best you got? OK.. now my TURN...
To add to this, cb360s seem to more readily avaliable and the parts are significantly cheaper.
However, I dont expect it to be that way for very much longer.
You may recall, earlier this summer, George picked up perfectly runnging cb360 + parts bike for $600.
Since the cb350's are becoming more rare, (even though from 69-74 Honda sold over 650,000+units, make the cb350 the single highest selling model of motorcycle in history), a really good alternative is the cb360....for now...
Check out Saucers cb360... Its pretty darn sexy, and to the untrained eye it looks exactly like the cb350...

hey thanks, for the kind words, but i'm still not selling it to you, stylistic difference between the two models are, the front end are headlight ears, and shock boots,6 speed transmission, and a cleaner running engine, mine's got a 69 350 tank,great for downtown traffic,locO leoN said:

Cool... will probably go see it Saturday afternoon after we wrap.
Will need to see it in person to make up my mind, and it depends how much he wants to deal.
If I show with the trailer, that may help him with motivation to get it out of the garage for cheaper.
The 6-speed 360 probably accelerates a bit better than the 5-speed 350... though Bikez.com rates the 350 with a couple extra HP.

Cb 360 and the 250 G5 models are still cheap here as they have a bad reputation for reliability and poor performance, engines fall apart and delicate and slow... but the k4 series are stilll very desirable and fetch good money.

Well, it was not meant to be. Really nice bike - totally original, down to the tires. There is a gas stain on the tank, and the gaiters have never been off the forks, so I have no clue what is under there, but it is ultra clean. Also, it's ridden only once a year and not too far, and then re-stored. Alas, the seller is in no rush to sell, no desperation at all. I think if someone had $2000 to spend, he would take it, but he turned down $1900 earlier in the fall. Not worth it to me, but someone else may be happy with it, particularly in the spring.
