Archived from groups: rec>motorcycles>tech (more info?)

Greetings. I have a general question and very much grateful for any
feedback.
I have recently moved from the flat midwest to the hilly san francisco
area.
I found a beautiful deal on a 73 Honda cb350... I realize that these
engines need constant tinkering. that is not the problem, this one has
low milage and lots of life still left.
My question is whether a 350 engine can generate enough juice to be
more than just a recreational bike. I would love to become the owner
of this if it can actually be expected to climb some hills (and even
carry a pasenger). Is this just wishful thinking?
Back in chicago i was riding a 76 CB750.. Not looking for lots of of
power necessarily, just functionality. what do you think?
Thanks in advance.
IR

In 1968 I had a CB160 that was 16HP. It was big enough for the freeways
and I drove from California to Alabama with no problems, and it was no
problem full throttle all day. The only problem was when I had it bored
to 175cc and the shop that installed the high compression cam left the
original valves springs in, as well as adding the new ones, so the
rocker arms chewed the cams up.

Now my Honda 50 was a different matter as it always slowed climbing
hills. On the 160 though I used to try for double the speed limit, plus
5 and I never could quite get it to 75MPH before I had to brake.

34 HP. You're not really gonna want to climb hills or carry
passengers on it too often.

Amoung other problems IIRC: you have to remember the 350 was really only
a ~323cc bike. There's only so much water in the well.

I thought by '73 they switched from CV to regular carbs which derated
the engine a bit. If it has the CV carbs, the good news is it probably
produces a few more HP then later models. The bad news is the silicon
diaphrams in those go out. In any case if it is running right you can
expect speeds in the 70-80 MPH range.

The 350s do seem to have their fan base. I think a ~1971 350SL recently
sold for ~$10k.

*Shrug*. I dunno. Given US sped limits, if you cruise it at 65mph it
should be fine.

Just my recollection of my CB360 from that time.

Thank you all for your feedback. Sounds like it's more than just a
scooter !

Blimey. To get a 360 to that sort of speed would need booster rckets,
I'd have thought.

I've alway liked the style of the CL series. Shame we never got them
in the UK, although there are quite a few that have been re-imported
from the States.

Heh. Yes, exactly the same. My old CB360 would do about 95+ indicated,
flat out. To get one to do a genuine 120mph would require serious deep
surgery. And a tuned speedometer as well. The old SOHC 750s would just
about hit 120 on a good day, but most of the time 110-115 was your
lot. No way would a 360 twin get anywhere near that speed.

This sounds suspiciously like the guy who claimed he got his stock CB900C
to 160 mph just by carefully tweaking the carbs. When a couple of people
told him he was dreaming he got a bit upset.

I've owned a couple of the early '70s CL360s and, after a bit of
tinkering[1], could get them up past 120mph. Carrying a passenger was
never a problem either...but, I only weigh about 140lbs and it doesn't
take too many horses to pull my bean-pole bod down the road.
(Unfortunately, even at that light weight they don't fly very well, even
at 120+mph, after leaving said road on a banked curve. They aren't much
good for riding on afterward, either.)

[1]The tinkering was mostly just fine-tuning the motor and changing the
rear sprocket and the chain.
