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.

I'm helping my dad search for a bike. 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.
Thanks,
Brad
