A friend has a really nice one sitting in a heated garage for many years and wants to sell it,I’m not interested but I told him I would try to det him an estimate ,probably less than 10000 miles.
-
I would think the value is limited by the number of them produced unless it is "as new"; but I may be all wrong???
-
I think it also depends on where it is. The CL is probably more desirable than a CB.

Researching past sales of CL360s on Bring A Trailer range from $2200 to $5700 depending on condition.

A lot of maybes with a bike like that. "Sitting for many years" can mean a lot.. even in a nice storage area. Paperwork? If it has a clear title the value goes up a lot. I guess the big downsides is that while it is a CL and that normally brings more cash then a CB.. it is a 360. I think most people looking for a bike like that are really looking for a CL350m and might settle for a 360 if they come across one.

Thanks for the good advice,my friend will be happy as he bought it new for around 800.

I enjoy running up to the local coffee shop on the CL350 to visit my scooter riding buds every now & then. I can't imagine the ride being much different on a CL360. Hope your friend enjoys his new 360!

Yes “sitting for years”can mean a lot. Usually not good unless regular maintenance has been done. If it just sat, then at the least a buyer is looking at are tires.battery. Brake and brake lines. Fuel lines. Plugs, wires, and of course, the carbs.
IMO, very generally speaking, if it has all these needs, he’s looking at ~$1500. Up from there if it has had some things done and done correctly. A near museum piece that needs nothing, $4K-4500. Price also depends on where it’s located.

Good points .

Yep! No brake lines though. Let's not forget forkseals, valve clearance chk/adj, head bearing check/adj., chain & sprockets, cam chain adj & hopefully adjuster wheels didn't come apart requiring an engine teardown or decimated starter sprague, points chk/adj, ign advance chk/adj......If the buyer can't do the work himself the (labor)costs can add up quickly. There are forums out there to aid the those getting into small honda twins:

A friend of mine had a like new 72 CB350 with 4K on it, sat in his heated garage for 30 years, he sold it a couple of years ago for 4K.

After restoring one down to the crankshaft, I am amazed at the engineering, and fit and finish Honda was able to cram into this little bike at an amazingly low price point.

That $800 is about $6000 today. Which is about what the new Triumph Scrambler 400 will sell for.
