Title: Newbie from Suffolk
Post by: Nick-Searle on April 30, 2018, 07:01:34 PM
Hello all, I’m looking to start a project over summer refurbing a bike and turning it into a cafe. I was wondering if anyone has/knows of any bikes for sale that could kick start my project. I’m looking for a 350 but am not overly fussed what model it is.
Thanks.

Welcome Nick
The 350 is a bit thin on the ground but plenty of project 400's about

Hi Nick

I'm new here too, and had the exact same idea.
I picked up a CB750 for just under £3k, given it's condition I found this to be very reasonable.

However, I did look at the CB400 (the tanks a really good shape), and these seem to be selling on eBay, at least around the £2-2.5k mark.

I've also noticed when looking for custom parts for my 750, a lot of neat looking 400 stuff comes up. So I reckon that would be a pretty good choice.

Let me know how you get on!

Welcome to the forum Nick. You would find more parts available for a CB400/4. The CB350/4 was never made for the UK market so even many standard bits have to come from USA. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Thanks the the advice! I’ll look around, it looks like it’ll probably be heading towards the 400 route then! Aha
