How much should I pay for a '73 Honda CB350?

Question

In pretty good condition.

Answer 1

Yeah, $350 tops unless it's in museum condition.  

Answer 2

I once bought a CB750 for $350  

Answer 3

I would not buy it,as it is hard to find or manufacture parts many parts you would need.

Answer 4

I didn't think there were any more of those things around. I have a 1974 CB450 twin out back that I gave 700.00 for back in 1984. That was the last year of the twin from what I understand. It had crash bars, ape hangers, and a 30 inch sissy bar with a rack. If it were running I wouldn't give 200.00 for it today. Too many things to adjust. Valve lash (always need adjustment), two sets of points in it, twin carbs. Nope, I wouldn't give a heck of a lot for a CB350 unless it was mint.

Answer 5

fair shape around $350.00, mint shape more, crappy shape less.

Answer 6

Prob. around $100 if it runs good and not to much in the rust department.  

Parts and repairs are going to be hard to do in some cases.  If there is no real reason to buy one that old consider a newer bike and you will be much better off in the long run as far as maintenance.  If you are buying it as a starter bike to learn to ride it is ok, but a bit big for a novice.

Check your local (or other) Craigslist(s) to see what is available and what the price ranges are.

Happy motoring...

Answer 7

As a rule you shouldn't pay over the cc's so no more then 350 but I am a wicked haggler and wouldn't pay more then 100 for it!

Answer 8

They're starting to become collectors, I've seen them listed for over $1000.  If it's in pretty good shape it could be  a cool old bike that would be fairly reliable(for a 35yr old bike) with that Honda engine.  Check ebay, there should be a few on there, so compare what you want to one in similar shape.

A guy I know turned a 550 into a really nice cafe that turned a lot of heads.

Answer 9

small bikes are hard to find used so you might have to pay more then you want. parts may be harder to find, is it ridable?

Answer 10

most of the answers are wrong those old Hondas are starting to be collectible. But if ya can get it for 300 do it and parts are still available!
