Title: My CB350F is for sale
Post by: loonymoon on March 11, 2009, 08:14:23 AM: I've decided after 10 years that the time has come for someone more enthusiastic and time-available to look after this stunning little machine.

I don't really wish to disclose the reserve but just to say I've set it a bit below the agreed valuation value that I have on my insurance policy and hopefully it's not an unrealistic figure. I intend to just let the auction run, if it doesn't meet the reserve then I'd rather just store it for another few years than sell for a price I'd regret.

It's been interesting that in less than 12 hours from the start of the 10 day auction it's been bid on that much, I wasn't really expecting that, but I guess it shows interest and I suppose it's not often one of these bikes come up - particularly not one with the known history etc and in the condition that this one is. I suspect there won't be many more bids now until the end of the auction though as is usually the way.

Post by: loonymoon on March 21, 2009, 04:28:40 PM: Yes by all accounts a very good home and a very good price too. The new owner's dad already has a lovely silver CB350F so he was a real 350 enthusiast. Just the type of person I wanted it to go to.

Here's a last pic of me with the 350, and the new owner riding it away.

Were you there?

Post by: dave400 on March 22, 2009, 09:49:48 AM: No Steve I never made Kempton, but I seen the bike on another forum and posted by the new owner and thought the reg number was quite close. I would think it came over in the same batch of bikes as loony
