I just finally added an image to my profile and I wanted to see what it looked like on the web. No making fun of my little bike now... I'm working up! Plus, I worked hard to get her running.

No one would ever make fun of you for having a small bike around here. Some people might, but we heartily encourage starting small and working up. It makes for much better riders.

Nothing wrong with a classic CB360 and working hard to get it on the road. Any schmuck can go finance something new, not everyone can get something old to run. Be proud

I know - I've gotten some great advice here and I really love the furum - lots of knowledge here. I'm just feeling a little engine envy while I save up for another bike! Also, I love that little bike. I rescued it non-running from someone's garage (for $350 no less), cleaned the carbs and cleaned it up real good and it sounds new now. It's not perfect, but it's a solid 9 with only 1600 miles on it. And it's perfect for running around town and going to the gym. It'll be my wife's bike (she just passed the test) after we find a larger bike that we can both cruise on comfortably.

I had a dark green/black one that I rode for a couple years. If I'm not mistaken those have a 6 speed transmission. I liked mine, with the price of gas I wish I still had it. I'd be zipping around on it every day!

They do have six gears. It doesn't have the absolute best mileage by far, but it's hard to complain too much. I'm getting 41 MPG - almost all city driving. Not sure how much a difference it makes on a bike.

Very nice! I love the older bikes. I keep thinking I would love to find a few and restore them, but right now I don't have the time. The CB series have been bullet-proof staples for riders everywhere for decades. Don't get rid of yours, whatever you do. You'll regret it if you do.
Besides, if you and I ever meet up for a ride, the first thing I'm gonna say is "So when to I get to ride your CB360?"
