Honda CJ360t

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Honda CJ360T was a twin cylinder four-stroke motorcycle produced from 1976-1977.

Evolving from the marginally successful CB360 Twin, the CJ360T of 1976 was a decontented motorcycle. The CJ360T was a less expensive version of the CB360, with a five-speed gearbox (instead of six on the CB), front drum brake rather than disc brake, a 2-into-1 exhaust and was kick-start only (the CB had electric and kick start). The 360 engine was tuned for broad range torque, and ran through a five-speed gearbox.

The model had a short manufacturing life from 1976-77 and did not gain market success. The poor acceptance resulted from several factors including:

inferior performance and economy compared to its predecessor
lower performance than competitors' two stroke models of similar capacity, notably Yamaha RD350.

The only differences between the 1976 and 1977 model years were cosmetic; the 1976 model was offered in blue and red, while the 1977 model was only offered in red and gained orange stripes along the fuel tank and rear cowl.
