Honda CL350
I decided to get a classic. Basically something I can enjoy on local roads and tinker with when I either lack the time or inclination to ride. A change in our inspection laws have made this feasible.
I had no firm plan just a budget and could have hit on anything from a C90 through to Brit bikes or an airhead BMW. I then hit on the Cb350 as having better than Britbike performance at lower cost because they just don't seem to be on the classic scene radar. Finally I landed on the CL which was never popular in the UK.
Coming to this new, albiet 45 years late, this seems a pretty good travel bike spec. 100mph power, 12v electrics, tyre sizes with a choice, no 2-smoke oil, some dirt road potential.
Did anyone notice this back in the day or am I missing something? Anyone got any stories from back in the day?
Cheers
Andy
