CB360 Vintage racer worthy?
« on: January 31, 2007, 10:16:50 PM »
Seems like the 6speed, stouter frame, disc brake and larger motor would make the 360 a bit better race bike than the 350.
Yes or no? I would guess the same body work could be used for both so it wouldn't be throwing money away if I didn't like it. It would be for track days to start , I don't know if it would be legal in any vintage class.

 It would be OK for CCS vintage racing but I'm pretty sure AHRMA have a 1972 cut off (anyone?).
Its not a 'like' motor/chassis as the CB500T would be compared to CB450 (or 650 Yamaha's, all years eligible)

My 350 is a 72 so I guess if I make sure whatever bodywork I use will fit both bikes I can go with the 350 if I find I really want to go farther with this.
