The CB350 is THE excellent choice for a first bike. The engine is actually 325 cc. Digest this FACT...in 1973 Honda sold more CB, CL, SL 350s in America than ALL the other motorcycle makers combined sold motorcycles. Parts are still available and so are many exceelent used 350s.

Adam: "350 aint much in power"
Brilliant statement considering the top speed of the Honda cb350 was underrated by Honda at 98 mph. More than enough for a beginner.
The Honda CB350 was a 325cc twin-cylinder, four-stroke motorcycle produced by Honda between 1968 and 1973. Its reliable motor, coupled with dual Keihin carburetors proved to be a popular design, becoming the highest selling motorcycle in American history, with 300,000 units sold. The machine evolved cosmetically over the course of its production, although engineering changes were mainly limited to the introduction of a hydraulic disk front brake on the 1973 CB 350G edition.
Then came the Honda cb350F. The Honda CB350F is a four-cylinder, four-stroke, 348cc motorcycle based on the larger versions of the day and was thought of as Honda's "one-up" to the other motorcycle companies. It was manufactured in Japan from 1972-74. Soon after production was discontinued, it was replaced by the CB400F. Although Honda had a 350 Twin that critics said was more powerful, lighter, and cheaper, many felt the 350 Four was faster, smoother running, and more stylish. The model to this date remains one of the smallest and most sophisticated mass produced four-cylinder designs and carries a cult following in the motorcycle community.

The only way a CB350 would go 98mph would be if you were pushing it with a car. But it's a good basic reliable old bike that won't make you feel too bad when you drop it a few times.

350 aint much in power so if you want to get on a interstate then no. Personnally i say you need atleast a 500-600 to learn on...personal opinion and i learned on a yamaha yx-600 so to each their own.
