New project, now it runs

Picked this bad boy up about 2 months ago. Finally spent some time trying to get her going. 1973 Honda CB350 Four. Pretty much all original. 1401 actual miles. Runs and rides good just put 2/10th's of a miles on her today, first time she's moved under her own power in 12+ years.

Nice bike !
My 4th motorcycle was a Honda 400F, Cafe racer style.
It was a great bike and I trusted it to take me anywhere from a ride down the street to 200+ mile trips. It never let me down.

Great looking moto. Love that tank shape. What's the plan?

Ride it to a vintage bike night next Tuesday and then sell it. I like it, but I have a buddy who has a pretty awesome collection of machines and this one belongs there.

Westie, beautiful bike, those motors were built like a fine watch. My brother has a 400F ready to be restored. The 350 and 400 are two of his favorites. Thanks! cochi

That thing is beautiful! Front disc brake and everything...
I see a red hash mark at 70mph on the speedo - was that the maximum speed in 1973? I remember during the federally imposed 55mph limit years, all our cars had a colored "55" on the speedo to remind you...

Well, too many projects and not enough room has made me decide to sell this beast. I put 96 miles on her this summer. Hopefully she goes to a good home.

Great bike. It reminds me of my 78 model CB550k-four. Terrific bike that gave me thousands of fun miles. Had a windjammer fairing with radio and cassette, highway bars and backrest with luggage rack.
