1975 Honda CB360 - GTA

[fingolfin]

Hello everyone, I'm looking to sell this bike. It was built by a reputal (I hope) guy in the Greater Toronto Area. I haven't really had as much time as I would have liked to ride in the last 2 years and since i own 3 bikes now, 2 gotta go.

Here are the details of the bike. The bike is posted on GTAM as well (I'm a long time well known member on that board).

This is a nice bike, but I don't dig the ad. First off, let me state that I'm not looking to buy a finished 360. I just have one so I wanted to look at yours.

I was under the impression that all CB360s were six speeds, which wouldn't make them particularly rare.

The unknown KMs bothers me because it's not that hard to note mileage on a speedometer when you change it out, and almost as easy to add the old mileage and new mileage together for what should be an accurate representation of miles or KMs ridden. To say "30,000km based on wear" is not likely to hold much weight. I understand that you may not have swapped out the speedometer, but that doesn't change the fact that it's unknown. How about, "Unknown mileage but great compression on both cylinders"? That is, of course, if you've done a compression test and everything is kosher.

If the fuel was drained before storage, you should note that. The first thing that comes to mind when I read your ad is that it will need the carbs rebuilt because it's been sitting.

Your diatribe about the price is unnecessary and kind of puts me off. I WANT a blumpkin from Mandy Moore, but that shit aint likely to happen, so I'd take a handy. Even if your firm on the price, you kind of come of sounding like a kid bitching about what you want. Just state in the ad that the price is firm, and politely decline any other offers that come in that you find unacceptable.

Your ad makes no mention of steering stem bearings, wheel bearings, swing arm bushings, etc. If any of those have been upgraded or replaced recently, it would certainly add value to the price.

Again, no disrespect intended, just offering feedback as requested.

Also, again, cool bike.

thanks for the feedback,

as for the kilometers, I was told 30 000 Km, but with bikes like these, i don't want to say that it is 30 000 Km, because truth be told I'm not 100% sure if thats true. I just want to be up front and honest with a potential customer.


I did drain the fuel and don't forsee any problems restarting the bike, i just have not had time to pull it out of my disaster that is my garage.


I'm going to hopefully do it today (if it stops raining)
