1968 Honda CB350 Race Bike

HIGHLIGHTS

  •  CB350F four-cylinder engine
  •  Amazing quad exhaust sound
  •  Ready to ride or display

THE APPEAL

Built approximately 20 years ago by it’s previous owner and veteran racer, this competition machine is a tribute to Jim Redman, the seasoned two-wheeled pro.
Still the only man to win six World Championships for Honda, Redman is one of the greatest motorcyclists of all time, winning on both 250 cc and 350 cc bikes and was also a six-time winner at the Isle of Man TT during the 1960s. He achieved a total of 45 Grand Prix victories and was awarded the MBE for his achievements. 
Clearly set-up for racing, the vendor is unsure of the exact details of this build, so we can only surmise and go by Honda factory specifications. It's equipped with Honda's intricate CB350F inline four-cylinder engine which was, at the time, the smallest capacity four cylinder engine to enter production. We are assured that this incredible looking machine has good compression and has been fully recommissioned to start and run as it should - so could be ridden or enjoyed as a stunning showpiece.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
