That's a first for me too.

Can't have been a cheap way to build a 350, it must have been way more expensive than something like an Rd.
 
It's an import. I had to recommissioned a beautiful cafe racer version some years ago. Beautiful little engine .
 
they were before 400/4 but not in the UK market, not all but quite a few interchangeable parts
 
By the looks of the bars its an american import? Great condition and on my wanted list.
Quite why the Big H thought the twin 350 was enough for the UK when everyone else in the world had the 350/4 is beyond me,
Memories of two teenage frenchies visiting Guernsey in 1973 and 1974 (?), each with one of these, howling round the Town at full revs but never stopped by the old bill...
I learned a little french from them, they had little to learn from me.
 
Came out same time as 500/4, Italy had tax regs that prohibitively expensive over 350cc, so made 350 version for ‘em, cost pretty much same as our 500/4 73-75ish

An American market bike, what a beautiful thing
 
If you haven’t been already put a trip to the David Silver museum in Leiston, Suffolk on your to do list. You will probably see several Honda models you never knew existed. An added bonus is that there are some lovely inland B roads in the area, but avoid Southwold and Aldeburgh if you don’t like crowds!

Good shout, I've been meaning to visit for years...ditto the Birmingham motorcycle museum
