Hi Brad,
If you were just about six months earlier! Sold a very nice 350 Four at
Mid-Ohio for $600. Parked it at Mike Skaggs' spaces (thanks Mike!) and sold
it on Sunday for less than I had in it just ot get rid of it.
Personally if I intentionally went looking to buy a 350/400/500/550 Four,
I'd go for the 550. The 350 was gutless and was revving almost as high as
my old RD out on the highway and I don't remember my brother's 400 being
any better. The 400s are probably the most desirable (bring higher prices)
to collectors as well. I remember the 550 being the most usable,
well-rounded machine of the lot. Happy hunting!
Charlie.

He has his mind set on an early '70s honda 4 cylinder that runs but needs work - he'd prefer a 350, but a 400 through 550 is OK. We just lost a '73 CB350 on ebay the other day. Some guy snuck in with 5 minutes left and I was taking care of my son, who's getting teeth and cranky about it, and I couldn't get logged in to counter-offer in time - oh well, the little guy is definitely higher on the list than a bike. Anyway, I've been searching all the usual suspects - ebay, motorcycleshopper.com, motorcycles.com, and I have an adhound set up on abracat (searches all newspaper classifieds every day). Does anyone know of such a bike or any other good sources to look in? There's no real hurry and the most important criteria is that the bike be in the midwest - preferrably Iowa but surrounding states are OK too. I'd appreciate any ideas. BTW - if he can't find a Honda he'd like to find a loop! I don't think he's there yet, though.
