HONDA CB350 K (1969-1970) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1970, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Honda CB350 K, a standard motorcycle part of the CB series in Honda's range that had its debut in 1968, powered by an OHC parallel twin-cylinder engine.

Over its production years, the bike featured cosmetic changes and improvements to the suspension and braking system. With its reliable engine, the bike became one of the best-selling motorcycles, with more than 250,000 units sold in five years and over 67,000 sold in 1972 alone.

Also, the CB350 model was offered in a scrambler form like the CL350 model, with a high-mounted exhaust system and a 19-inch front wheel, and like the SL350, with an upswept exhaust system and off-road styling.

The bike came equipped from the factory with standard features, such as a one-piece dual seat, a chromed exhaust system, an analog instrument panel, a wide handlebar, a black-finished steel frame, a center stand, and wire-spoked wheels.

A telescopic fork provided the handling on the front and, dual shock absorbers on the rear for optimum suspension performance and the stopping power was achieved by a drum braking system both front and rear.

As for the power figures, the 1970 Honda CB350 took its muscles from a 325cc four-stroke parallel-twin air-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 36 hp at 10,500 rpm and 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) of torque available at 9,500 rpm.
