⚙️

Legendary Engine Reliability

The CB350 and CB450 parallel-twin engines are renowned for longevity, often running 50,000+ miles with basic maintenance. Their simple SOHC design makes them easy and affordable to rebuild even today.

⚠️

Watch the Carbs & Electrics

The CB450's torsion-bar valve springs and dual carburetors are notorious for gumming up after sitting — budget for a carb rebuild if it hasn't run recently. Aging point-style ignitions and brittle wiring harnesses are the other top culprits for headaches.

📈

Strong Collector Demand

Clean, original CB350s and CB450s have steadily appreciated, with well-preserved examples fetching $3,000–$6,500+ depending on condition. Their iconic status as Honda's first performance bikes keeps buyer interest — and prices — climbing.
