cb 350 or 360?

seestheday
I'm going to check out a cb 350 and 360 that are in pieces later this week.  They're both good prices for this area (these sort of things never seem to come up around here).

Anyone know how easy it is to get parts for a cb360 vs a 350?  I've heard it's easier to get parts for the 350, but I won't be trying to do a full stock rebuild.  The guy I'm going to see has 5 cb360's to choose from and 2 cb350's.  They're all the same price.  He had more, and I'm pretty sure the 350's have been picked over more than the 360's.

Go with a 350. Much better investment.

Zero personal experience,but I was strongly told the same thing when I was looking at a 360. I was told the 350's are much stronger runners,too.

All the 350's are twins I assume?... That being the case there is probably the most aftermarket replacement parts for a Honda CB350 twin than any other bike made, next to a Harley.

If one of the 350's happens to be a four, grab it!

81 Honda CB750C - Current Project
67 BSA Spitfire MkIII - Next Up (Full Resto)
81 Honda GL1100 - Bob / Cafe´
80 Suzuki GS750L - Bratstyle
72 Honda CB450K5 - Basket Case
73 Honda CB350F Cafe' (Gone but not forgotten)

Don't wait for opportunity to knock... kick the door down and drag the old harlot in!

Ya, pretty sure they're all twins. They made 4 cylinder versions?

Thoughts on a CM400T?

There is a runner close by for the same price as these boxed cb350's (frame stripped, engine etc. in boxes).

The CM 400 is a really good bike. I have been helping a friend Cafe one. It will run 90+ MPH. However I would go with an older 350 Twin myself.
