1969 Honda CL 350 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's allround motorcycle platform, the 1969 Honda CL 350 utilizes a 325 cc (19.8 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 33 HP (24.1 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 26.4 Nm (19.5 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 101.5 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
