How much is my 1973 CB350 worth???

Greetings Folks,
I am in a bit of a quandary. I am hoping you will read about my
situation and offer your advise.
Thanks in advance.

I own a 1973 CB350 - the body is in very good shape, the engine also.
I paid $1700 bucks for it - it had been parked for years,
My objective was to fix it up and I have been doing so.

Recently, I replaced the air filters in preparation to sell the bike
before I depart in three weeks.
Not surprisingly, the carburator is now totally out of whack. It
leaks, and will barely start.
I know how to go at this to figure it out, however, I don't have much
time, and I am worried that I will have to sell the bike in non-
working condition.

Running, I think I could EASILY get $2000. How much does a bike like
this cost if the new buyer has to pick it up in a pick up or
trailer???

Thanks all !

 

Dream on.

If it's in absolutely superb condition, then just possibly.

your dreaming, I can buy my buddys 350 that has been restored with only
9000 miles on it for 1000. They are not so collectible or have any
intrestrinic value either. you were a sucker to pay that much. KB

 

Please get your attributions sorted out, old chap. In other words, learn
to use a newsreader.

 

Sounds like a couple of my "deals" on a tractor - took it
real deep in the shorts! That's the last time I'll step
into something I know nothing about. ( I think I told
myself that on a prior occasion or two!)

There's one born every minute..........only these days, I think it is every
second or so !!!

In non-running, non-perfect condition, you overpaid by
about....oooo...$1200.
Suck it up and move on.

You will be lucky.....VERY lucky....to get $500.

 

Dude, Honda built about 25 million of those things, and they are about
as
collectible as a 1973 Maytag washing machine.

 

The 350 twin (which I suppose is what he's talking about) is actually
quite in demand in Europe: the classic racing guys hunt them down, and
they can be tweaked to go stupidly fast. But Honda never sold them in
the same numbers as they did in the US, so they're relatively scarce.

 

Well, glad I could be your point of ridicule for the day !
So do you think I'm better off to chop it up and sell it for parts?
I'll post another dumb question some other time, just to brighten your
day...

 

No. Not in the US. It's worth **** all. You might get a higher price for
some parts in Europe, but only some, as they sold the 250 version here
as well and barring the engine, the two bikes are pretty much identical.

Just ride and enjoy.

 

What, 1700 bucks? No chance.

But yes, just forget the money that's been thrown away and enjoy it.

 

Oh, yes, right, agreed.
