Call a Honda Dealer for a few Parts Quotes.
Don't be surprised if there's laughter on the other end of the line.
That bike is 40+ something years old, you need to KNOW what you're buying!

As for reselling for a profit?! Well, the seller found you.

It is not an every day bike.
It is a bike for viewing at an antique bike show.
Parts are not available anywhere.
You will not make any money selling it.
It was a popular model and there are plenty of them around.

Yes go for it, it is only money* and you can't take it with you.

*and not my money

Not a bad price, or bike. As long as you keep it off the freeway.
Parts are available, don't let anyone kid you.
Just look on eBay, TONS.

Honda only made the CB-360G for two years, due to reliabilty problems and poor sales.

It is neither a desireable machine nor one that is gaining in value, so if you buy it, you will struggle to sell it again and certainly not for a profit.

Until someone puts money in your hand you won't know what you can sell it for. How about some basic checks like compression and leakdown, dude? How old are the tires?

Budget at least $1,200.

Will likely need new rubber and tubes, cables, plus a good tune-up, possibly chain/sprockets.

Have 2 down at our shop, they had some issues, a good overhaul and electronic ignition can turn it into a somewhat reliable scoot.

Not for a profit if it needs fixing. That vintage and model is a very good learning to wrench project, good learn to hunt parts, use drill press and tools project. The result is a usable utility street bike that can draw some attention from old crocks that rode them when new.

One of the poorer bikes Honda made - less power than the CB350, harder t owork on, not a long model run & that 6 speed gearbox is excessive in such a low tuned engine.

  • Is a 1973 Honda CL350 a good started motorcycle? I'm a beginning learner and found that a Honda Scrambler or Honda Rebel were good starter bikes. I plan to buy one off of craigslist but I just don't know what kinda questions I should be asking the seller. Especially for older bikes like a 1973 Honda Scrambler. Any opinion or advice would really be appreciated since I have no friends or family that know anything about motorcycles.
  • I have a 1998 Honda CRV with 240 K miles. Needs $1200 of repair to pass inspection. Should i fix or buy a newer used Honda civic? Mike? I'm the original owner and have done a good job with oil changes etc. However, it needs 2 front control arms with ball joints and rear struts to pass inspection. I've also gone past my mileage on a second timing belt (first one done at 90K miles). Car body exterior and interior is in pretty good shape. Inside looks brand new. But repair cost at 1200 + timing belt ~500 =~1700 in repars. Is it time for a newer used auto.
