Wow indeed.
If its genuine, he's probably right about it being the lowest mileage unrestored bike ever.
Mine is a 1972 model and its way lower frame number than that one. It will probably be a 74 F1 model.
Its been recommissioned with a fair few new parts on it so I assume its been run and the oil seals checked.
At 10K its also the dearest 350F I've ever seen.

Warning on the tacho says it will need maintenance at 600 miles. I reckon that'll be around May 2040!

Still for sale I see.
Check out picture 8. Got a little confused in the re-assembly there!

Blimey fork legs on the wrong way round. Well spotted. ;D  Wonder what else is the wrong way round? Best unrestored bike around, REALLY.

But in the other pics the fork legs look right. What is going on there?

I think it may have been noticed and rectified, and a stray old picture has slipped in there. Not been restored eh, you've been rumbled I think. Mileage is probably wrong as well. I'm cynical about it now.

Maybe the photo has been 'inadvertently reversed' as it shows the front brake assembly on the RHS rather than the LHS.

If  that was the case the caliper would still appear in front of the fork leg. Legs must have been swapped to get the caliper behind and on the right.

That's a real conundrum,
If the pic had been reversed, so too would the Honda tank badge.  If the legs had been reversed and the wheel fitted then the caliper would end up in front of the leg as previously said.
Just checked my 350 and the caliper is at front of leg on left, so that number 8 pic shows tampering.

Not checked parts list yet, but in the pic
 the pinch bolts on the lower yoke are different, the one holding the cable guide has a recess but the left side hasn't.

Don't know if it's my eyes but are the front indicators and clocks not quite straight?

They could have fitted the mudguard 'back to front' although the part in front of the forks would then have been too long and the part behind too short as the mudguard is not symmetrical front to back.
Goodness only knows how they would have routed the brake hose.
