HONDA CB350F (1972-1974) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB350F was a standard four-cylinder motorcycle based on the larger CB750 and CB500 models. It was produced by Honda In Japan between 1972 and 1974 and was the smallest capacity four-cylinder motorcycle to enter full-scale production.

In 1972, the Japanese motorcycle maker introduced the Honda CB350F, a standard machine manufactured for only three years. The bike remained unchanged over its production period.

The 1973 model was delivered in the same shape and form as the previous model without any modifications, but the maker designated it the Honda CB350F1. Soon after the bike was dropped from production, it was replaced by the Honda CB400F.

In addition to the CB350F, Honda owned a 350cc model powered by a twin-cylinder engine. Critics said it was more powerful, lighter, and cheaper, but many felt the other way around.

Visually, the motorcycle packed a round headlight upfront, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a center stand, chromed fenders, a four-into-two exhaust system with two chromed silencers on each side, and wire-spoke wheels.

As for the power figures, the 1972 Honda CB350F had installed a 325cc four-stroke air-cooled four-cylinder engine that delivered an output power of 34 hp with a peak force at 9,500 rpm and 27 Nm (20 lb-ft) torque at 8,000 rpm.
