Honda file

The CL360 took over from the CL350 for 1974, using the bigger-bore 356 cc twin and six-speed gearbox of the CB360. It kept the scrambler recipe of high pipes, braced bars and a raised rear mudguard, but switched to an 18-inch front wheel. It was not a strong seller and was dropped after 1976.
