One of the short-lived lines ofHonda motorcycles is theCJ Series, which was an offshoot of the short-lived CB360. The CJ series motorbikes haveinline engines, of a nominal 360cc capacity.
TheHonda CJ360T was a twin cylinderfour-strokemotorcycle produced from 1976 to 1977. Evolving from the successfulCB360 Twin. The CJ360T was a less expensive version of the CB360, with a five-speedgearbox (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.
The model had a short manufacturing life from 1976 to 1977 and did not gain market success. The poor acceptance resulted from several factors including:
The only differences between the 1976 and 1977 model years were cosmetic. The 1976 model was offered in Candy Antares Red. The 1977 model carried over the same color with orange stripes added along the fuel tank and rear cowl.
The CJ250T, which was not sold in the US, was offered in Parakeet Yellow and Tahitian Red.
