The Honda CB360 is a twin cylinder motorcycle introduced by Honda in 1974.[1] Although industry observers called the CB360 "unexciting" and "mediocre", the model was a commercial success, with more than 2 million units built and sold in its first year of production (including the smaller CB250G).[1]
It succeeded the Honda CB350 and provided an alternative to the four cylinder CB350F and CB400F. The CB360 was a new design. The 356 cc engine was tuned for broad range torque, and drove the rear wheel through a six-speed gearbox. The base CB360 model was equipped with front and rear drum brakes, while the CB360t version had a front hydraulic disc brake. It was produced through 1976.
