In 1974, Honda CB 360 to the onerous task of succeeding the CB 350 (the by-cylinder), which was one of the best sales in its time.

The succession is difficult especially as the competition prepares its arms with his Suzuki GT 380, Kawa and his 350 S2 and with Yamaha RD 350. The line is more modern than the CB 350, the exhaust systems are identified for many.

The engine is an evolution of CB 350. The increase in displacement was mainly operated in a sense of reliability. The power supplied by the engine is mounted to 34 hp (instead of 36 hp by the CB 350), but it is produced 1 500 rpm earlier. In use, CB 360 is less nervous than its predecessor.

In 1977, the machine disappears from the catalog 2 years after its marketing to be replaced by the Honda CB 400 without having seen the success of the CB 350.
