The Honda CB350 is one of the most important motorcycles that Honda ever made, everyone knows about the importance of the Honda CB750 but during the same era, slightly under the radar, the CB350 became the best selling motorcycle in the world – shifting over a 250,000 units during its 5 year production.
These high production numbers coupled with the CB350’s low-weight, bullet-proof reliability and ease of modification have led to it becoming one of the cornerstones of the modern cafe racer revival. We’ve seen a huge number of them over the past 5 years and my own love for lighter, smaller-engined motorcycles has led to me nearly punching the Buy It Now button on more than a few eBay auctions.
The well-appointed 1973 Honda CB350 cafe racer you see here was built by hand in Missouri by an award-winning experimental aircraft builder, I find this reassuring as he’s clearly used to building things that kill you if you don’t build them properly. The fact he’s still alive would tend to indicate that he knows what he’s doing.

This pristine 1981 Toyota HiLux SR5 Pickup Truck is undoubtably the best HiLux for sale in America right now. That may sound like a lofty claim to make, but this comprehensively restored truck looks like it just rolled off the factory floor in Japan, with Kool & The Gang’s just released single “Celebration” playing on…
DC-3 – The World’s Most Successful Aircraft is an english-language documentary film created by a team of Germans led by director Peter Bardehle, perhaps a very fitting nationality considering the extreme importance of the DC-3 during the Berlin Airlift of 1948 and 1949.
