        Perfect, CB 360s are excellent for a Honda! I think my GS 650 is still under the $500 limit, if I don't put on the new tires or the freshly painted tank.

              I wonder if a 650 will run on three cylinders?

                That couldn't be done here. There are very rarely bikes under $500, and if they are they're basket cases.

                  thats the actual point, to run a jalopy 500 miles

                    Hah, Honda 360s. Nothing like having a 2 cylinder moped with a top speed of 75 mph, that takes time measured in minutes to get there.
                    I'm just joking, I rode one back when they were new and I was riding 2 strokes. I was stunned at how underpowered it was. I suspect time has not improved the performance much. But you could putter the 500 miles.

                        I agree completely. I'd take it, even if all I could do is part it out. It apparently has a following, even though it is a *gasp* Honda.

                          Come on, man! They went at least 80! Some of the most fun ever was blasting around Seattle on my dad's CB 360, my buddy on his CB350. You could go full throttle from Everett to Federal Way on 99 at three in the morning.. Let's see you try that on a Hyabusa!

                          A Honda 350 with a helmet fairing would be perfect for this event.

                            I read an article about an event like this last year. I don't think it was the exact one, but the rules were the same. The winner, measured by who had the least break downs, was riding a GS450. Makes sense to me

                            Does sound like fun though.

                              I understand completely what the point is, I see what you guys post as "deals" and what comes up on craigslist & kijiji here and there is no comparison. Deals are few and far between here. The pickins are slim. There is one I am considering, I'll let you know next week how it goes.. by your standards I'll likely be paying 50% too much. The prices and selection drop dramatically as you cross the line into Washington... even better around Portland..
