You mean TO fully restore? Or it's already restored? Either way, It looks like a pretty good deal to me. Not alot of those around.

If it's running that's not bad at all. Figure the tires, chain, and battery would cost $200 in parts.

Not bad price for a restore, just know that it lacks the high dollar 4into4 exhaust,
the front fork ears and guards should be red , not black. also the taillight mount should be chrome not black...
I guess it all depends onhow close to stock original you want it.  Functionally, it has no bearing what color that crap is.

I have one of these bikes, and they are definiely fun.  if you can afford it and want it, buy it.

Since we are again bike shopping (this time for my wife), I will share our dictum:

It's worth what it's worth to YOU.

We always do a quick check of general market value (such as you're doing).  Then we decide what's the amount we want to offer (don't abuse or disrespect the PO with an insult, but go as low as you might conceivably get it for), and the amount we won't go above.

We've paid a bit "too high" for two out of our three bikes, but we haven't regretted a penny since each time we got what WE'RE HAPPY WITH.

It looks quite nice, BTW.  I bet it'll be a lot of fun, and get some admiring looks.

Use it in good health!  :)

               I'd say it was a good deal. It's true, there aren't many around. I see them being parted on
       ebay now and again. Kinda sad for the bike but, good for those who are looking for parts. Nice
       looking bike.                                    Later on, Bill

Great looking bike -
As far as what they are going for, you can get a gauge by checking them out on e-bay.  Although as stated earlier, whenever there is one with the original 4 into 4 exhaust, they go for top dollar, usually $3,500 plus.  See this one currently listed: 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=250037272134&ih=015&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBI%3AIT

This week a set of the original exhaust went for $1,625, and I think it's only the second set I've seen on e-bay since I started looking myself.   :-\

I bought my 350F in July and haven't regretted it for a second.  I think yours is a very good price and  lower than what I've seen others pay on e-bay for like miles and condition.  I'd buy it, but think twice about parting it out - looks great.

not too bad - you would not have been happy with that bike anyway. Having owned a cb350 four and lots of friends who have I really can;t come up with anything nice to say about that bike other than it is a honda and it's better than the 450 hawks. They are reliable, somewhat smooth, but slow as all get out, heavier than they need to be, and hard to get parts for (even stock service items). They also make lousy cafe bikes.

For that kind of money you can easliy get a cb750, for which there is a decent cafe aftermarket for.
