The biggest market
in the States during the early 1970's was for
350cc class machines and although Honda dominated
it with their twin cylinder CB350 technically
more sophisticated machines from Kawasaki and
Suzuki threatened their dominance. Consequently
Honda developed a single cam across the frame
four displacing 347cc. The new model was introduced
during 1972 but struggled to establish itself
despite its competence in all areas, largely
due to a higher price without a significant
advantage in performance when compared to the
existing twin. The model was never officially
imported into the UK and is consequently extremely
rare on the British market.

The Honda CB350 was a 325cc twin-cylinder,
four-stroke motorcycle produced by Honda
between 1968 and 1973. Its reliable motor,
coupled with dual Keihin carburetors proved
to be a popular design, becoming the highest
selling motorcycle in American history,
with 300,000 units sold. The machine evolved
cosmetically over the course of its production,
although engineering changes were mainly
limited to the introduction of a hydraulic
disk front brake on the 1973 CB 350G edition. |
