In 1972, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB350, a classic machine part of the CB series in Honda's range, a series known for its reliable engines, excellent handling, and affordability.
With its reliable engine, the bike became one of the best-selling motorcycles, with more than 250,000 units sold in five years and over 67,000 sold in 1972 alone. Also, in 1974 the bike was replaced by the Honda CB360, which was available for only two years.
Also, the CB350 model was offered in a scrambler form like the CL350 model, with a high-mounted exhaust system and a 19-inch front wheel, and like the SL350, with an upswept exhaust system and off-road styling.
As for standard features, the CB350 packed a one-piece dual seat, a chromed exhaust system, an analog instrument panel, a wide handlebar, a black-finished steel frame, a center stand, and wire-spoked wheels.
For suspension, the bike packed a telescopic fork on the front and dual shock absorbers on the rear for optimum suspension performance, and for stopping power, it featured a drum braking system both front and rear.
As for power, the 1972 Honda CB350 packed a 325cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 36 hp at 10,500 rpm and 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,500 rpm.
