My buddy and I started riding around in his parents field when we were young on Honda 50s the graduated up to the Kawasaki 100 2 stroke and the Honda cb160. In 1970 we got our licences and he bought a new Honda CB350. It was a fast bike! Nice to see this bike. Great job and thanks for the memory

They were a mainstay "motorsickle", honest to the bone, and spawned other brands to come strongly into that size class. I was a service manager/mechanic at a Suzuki/Kawasaki dealership and 350s - 450s were practical and useful machines. I miss the philosophy of the period, the industry has progressed into building machines that are more technically advanced and not near as useful or easy to care for and so very expensive.

I just got around to watch this again and reading the comments left by RadioReprised. I can't believe someone hasn't written the following sales line by American Honda back in the day. "You meet the nicest people on a Honda". I used to own a CB 400F cherry red fuel tank. I sold it with my other toys to buy my wife's engagement ring she still wears that I gave to her 35 years ago. Now one of the hot bikes back in those days was the Kawaski two-stroke 3 cylinder 750. It was advertised as a 12 second 1/4 mile off the showroom floor. It was a beast that one of my friends owned when I was 17.

Thanks for that video - it brought back so many memories. I had a CB 250, in Ireland, back in the 70's and it was identical to this apart from the cc's. I did a lot of work on mine - including a rebuild after a fire - and the video is SO familiar! The scenes adjusting the tappets and the points really brought me back to cold evenings working on the bike in an unheated shed. One problem I solved, almost by accident, was poor front brakes. I discovered that the fork oil hadn't been replaced in a long time so I drained the forks and refilled them with fresh oil. Hey presto! Front brakes were perfect! This bike had a built in flaw that caused damage to many an engine. The choke flap contained a little spring loaded door that allowed a little air in when the choke was closed. Unfortunately that little door could come loose and if you were unlucky it would make its way into the cylinder! In my case it got stuck, melted, under a valve. I did that fix myself too. I loved the bike though as it was my first "proper" bike :)

Loved how you save things that I would surrender and go get parts for!!! I am learning a lot from your channel. I am now relocated from my previous Texas home of many many decades, to the Philippines, with two bikes here and a few gas powered things. Here, the parts may as well be located on the moon, so rebuilding and refurbishing old parts is the ONLY way, not the cheap way. Like the trick on the muffler, I will be putting that to work quite soon on a Suzuki that needs it. Subscribed and watching...
