Honda CB description

I purchased this CB350 K4 road racer recently an a whim, with the intentions of racing it.  The reality is, I'm not going to be doing any vintage road racing any time soon, so I am reluctantly offering it for sale as to not punish the bike to years of collecting dust in my garage.  I did not build this beautiful machine, I will do my best to describe it.  I purchased it from the son of the builder, who as I am told was an elderly man that has since passed away.  The gentelmen who built the motorcycle spared no expense creating a gorgeous and very well built out race bike, but was unable to ride it.  The bike has sat for nearly a decade before I got it.  I have not taken the bike or motor apart, but just by poking around I have seen that there are:
- Todd Henning Race pistons (attached pic of top of piston through plug hole)
-PVL/Motoplat elctronic/batteryless ignition
-copper racing head gasket
 -Todd Henning Race Exhaust
 -Bucchanan's built Akront rims/stainless spokes
-Upgraded Yamaha front brake  (same diameter as stock, but wider braking shoes)
-Modified front forks and triple trees
-Complete unmounted Drixton style fairing and front fender (brackets are built and included)
-Avon racing tires (old and need replaced)
-Alloy rear Sets
-Feather light Alloy works style tank (I did take it off to look under)
-Racing seat
-Progressive Rear Shocks
-Fully adj clip on bars
-Mikuni Carburetor Conversion

The builder's son believed the top end to be upgraded too, with racing cam and valves, but I have not opened the motor and cannot verify.  Clutch, brakes, and transmission all work as they should.  I am very tempted to put gas in it and try and fire it up, but there is no kill switch and I'm not sure how to wire one onto these earlier analog pvl systems.  I've started race bikes without kill switches before and learned my lesson!  Don't do it!

Please see the pics closely and ask questions.  I wish I had more information on this bike.  My opening bid is most likely much less than the builder put into the motor alone.  This is an amazing opportunity to buy a nearly completed racer that should not only look amazing, but perform amazingly too.  I believe the next owner only needs to safety wire and add an inner rear fender to be on the track.  This is  race bike and has no title....BILL OF SALE ONLY.

Shipping is buyer's responsibility, I have worked with shippers before-should not be a problem!

Alvaro Bautista on the Gresini Honda set the fastest time at the end of the first day with a 2:00.848. The time is 1.3 second slower than the fastest time Marquez set at the last Sepang test.

Casey Stoner Testing The Honda RC213V At Motegi – Video

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

Casey Stoner made a surprise return to MotoGP recently, participating in a two-day test with former employer, Honda. Check out the video below to see the former champ in action. The test took place at the Honda-owned Motegi circuit, where Stoner rode the 2013 model in the morning session before switching to 2014 machinery — the same spec bikes Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez currently pilot — in the afternoon.  Unfortunately, the Australian only managed six laps during the first day of testing due to rain, but completed 47 laps the following day when conditions were much better.
