No he is busy with that new bike of his, he doesn't want any stinking two stroke.
You do such beautiful work. Just a great looking little bike. Good luck with your auction, I’ll be watching with interest!
That's got @Mailman written all ovet it!
Oh man, that brings back a lot of fond memories! Certainly a bike I think about…a lot! I had that exact bike back in 1974, I was the second owner. I rode that bike to high school and never had any idea what an iconic bike it would one day become. Wonderful little bike!
That is so nice. Good luck with your sale.

If you're bored with the CB350 you could move on up to a CB550. I would deliver this one to you also
Funny you mention that. Though not really a Honda guy at heart, I have always liked the looks and sound of those 500/550's....gotta admit I've been scoping them out lately.Pm returned

At $2500 as of 11am. I'm thinkin' $6500 when it's all said and done. 
Yes not a Honda guy myself. But I have to admit, it's one of the nicest running bike I have ridden and own. It was hard to admit that to my Honda loving friend who owns several CBX bikes. Kawasaki is my preference, then Yamaha with a couple of Suzukis thrown in the bunch.
Yes I would expect $6500 but you never know on BAT
This one will be sold this coming summer

Hmm I know the market seems stale at the moment but I would think it may go for more.
I see em selling them in my neighborhood for more.
That one is surely a looker anyone would be pumped to have.
I’m knee deep in construction or I’d be throwing my hat in the ring.
Back when I still believed I could be the next Kenny Roberts ( )... I used to buy RD350 bikes and parts by the truckload for a hundred bucks.
Where the hell is that damn time machine when you need it?

Ya I used to buy complete Z1900's for $700, and that was only 15 years ago.
I had an RD400 back in the day when I was in High School...it was OK, but I never really bonded with it much so I sold it.
I always read that Yamaha placed the engine a little forward in the frame to settle the 400's down a bit and make them less wheelie prone.
The 350's are supposed to be the most spirited, untamed ride of the bunch but I've never actually ridden one despite working in a Yamaha shop back in the day
?
Like the guy said in Dirty Harry.... "I gotsta know!".

Is that a Kerker header by chance? Always loved the sound of 4 into 1's back in the day on my GS750 standards. Thats bikes a beauty right there for sure.Yes not a Honda guy myself.

It's a Delkevic stainless steel 4 into 1. A little louder than my likes but nice pipe. The MAC on the XJ550 that was sold was a little quieter.

From what I’ve seen on BAT, the real action all happens in that last hour. I’ve seen bikes on there that I’m thinking “Wow nobody is interested, somebody is going to get a real steal! “ Then the auction goes crazy in that last hour when the real players show up!
Is this the first bike you’ve listed on BAT? What do you think of the process?
Bud just sent me this photo.
He just found it in a Baraboo barn.
THEN he tells me; He paid $200!
I mean good for him, but STILL!
