Fantastic work.  350s are so cool.

IMHO, the coolest of all the SOHC4 bikes.
...except for the CB250F version they sold in Japan...

HondaMan - Unfamiliar with a 250F model (??) I know they did a 250 twin patterned directly from the early '70's CB350 twins - not offered in US. Apart from the small multi-cylinder race bikes Honda was building in the late '60's, I was of the belief that they didn't offer a smaller production four because of poor performance(?) Do you have any links/pics to these machines? (me = ALWAYS curious!) ;-)

The CB250 four was called the "Jade" -- it's googleable.

You need to accept the nomination to be in next years calendar as bike of the month.
What a great bike. If I could find a good one I'd make it my next project.
