Honda file

The first CB350 Super Sport twins (K0 and K1) brought Honda's compact 325 cc 180-degree parallel twin to a mass audience, especially in the USA. It paired a rev-happy SOHC engine and five-speed gearbox with a light frame and drum brakes, and its easy handling and reliability made it one of the best-selling bikes of its time.
