@@marcusgraci9027 My number one recommendation is take a beginner riding course if you haven't yet. I don't think it's too much power. My main concern was being able to ride highway speeds when I was ready to. I was worried about a 350 being able to consistently cruise at 65+ mph. Some people say they're capable and others have said that's the top end of the bike. I didn't want to outgrow the bike quickly. It's not built with the same sort of power you'd get from a 650 sports bike where a twist of the wrist sends you off to the races. As for price/budget we're getting close to a good time to buy a bike. I saw some good prices on RE bikes at the end of the riding season. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll do my best to help.

@@jlrutube1312 I enjoy it a lot. I haven't had much interstate miles but I've done plenty of two lane highways and it'll cruise at 65-70 without issue. I haven't had any issues with it. I've read some people have needed to clean the relays but I haven't messed with them yet because it's working great! If you can, I'd give it a test ride or at least find one you can see in person to get a feel of the seat height and riding position.

@@interceptor_moto Thanks!

@@jlrutube1312 No problem, stay safe out there ✌️

@@robertfarris6778 In the short time I've had it, it's been a fantastic bike!

I've noticed improvement since posting this video. I always assume when someone is approaching an intersection that they will blow through the stop sign or light.

When I was doing the valves I did end up removing the left side horn, loosen the ABS etc. The difficulty removing the top cover is there seems to be a sweet spot that allows it to slide out. Finding that sweet spot was the difficulty. I suppose that is true compared to older bikes of the 70s!

@@interceptor_moto Remove both horns with horn brackets (allows moving cover forward a bit for removal). Also move the air injection hose out of the way. Remove all ABS module bolts and assure you lift the ABS unit as high as you can before wedging up with wood. I don't recall a problem when doing this. A friend and I had identical 1971 Honda CB450s. We took a road trip from Michigan to St. Louis to Houston to New Orleans and back to Michigan. Lots of 75-80 mph highway miles (easy 105+ mph). The bikes never skipped a beat and were more than up to the task. At that time 650-750cc were essentially the biggest displacement available and considered Superbikes! A 175cc was a beginner bike, not 650cc.

Nice! I think the first mod I'm making is upgrading the seat. Stay safe and happy riding!

Thanks! Way to get back out there! Stay safe and happy riding!

All of this! Well said. New'ish rider here with a '72 Honda CL350! Enjoying her after just passing the safety inspection, registration and MSF course!

Thanks for the advice and good bit about the sun! Stay safe out there!

Excellent advice.. to which I would add. When riding down a mtn road from shadows to light towards the setting sun and the sun's wreaking havok with your face shield and sunglasses, don't assume the road is where you think it is should be. 😐

@@pujabelgian I think you may have been riding as long as I have? 😎

Old Bikers Rule! Thanks for the valuable tip. ✓

Thanks for taking time to watch and I appreciate the advice! How many years have you been riding?

@@interceptor_moto About 30 years on and off - all in the UK.

@@andytopley314 That's incredible! Happy riding and stay safe out there!

Good morning! I love it but I'm biased because it's the only bike I've had. I know you're not a beginner but I've found it to be a great beginner bike. It has enough power to ride on the highway but not so much to get you into trouble if you accidentally give it too much throttle. If you have the chance to sit on one or test ride one I'd recommend giving it a shot.

Drivers here are still getting used to them! The older drivers really hate them

@@interceptor_moto Indeed they take a lot of getting used to. I grew up with them so it feels normal. At least you have nice new ones! Enjoy your riding.
