Honda CL350 Clone?
Is there anyone making a CL350 clone? or something like it with the 70s style and scrambler pipes. I've only come across the CCW Ace (125cc) but I want something a little bit bigger.

you can find some in the 250cc range, but have not seen any larger other than Royal Enfield. Look at CSC perhaps.

No CL350 clone there. I have seen no 350 Honda twins in any market. Not CB350, not CL350. Too bad. It was a dependable motor, nice size, efficient and easy to maintain.
Here is a 1972 CL

If you want something comparable to a 350, you'd have to look at a chinese 400cc.
Nothing out there though. You like classic, or are ok with modern? I've been eying the Svartpilen 401. it's like a vader (or a grom on steroids, with 400cc ohc engine). |

What is a Svartpilen 401? Can you buy one? Vaders are NOT scramblers. What is our point?

Link to Svartpilen 401 would help. Maybe it has "70s style and scrambler pipes" that OP asked abot. Vader is nothing like a 350 scrambler. That is the point.
Used CL350s are out there.

The Svartpilen Prodigit is talking about is interesting. It's a combination of cafe/standard styling in a mono shock frame. It is a Husqvarna with a liquid cooled one cylinder engine.
But about a parallel twin...There are some 450/270 offset firing engines that you might like. These engines sound great, they run much smoother than the old 360 degree twins, and they are getting put into some interesting bikes. They are generally bigger though. The smallest are in the RE interceptor and a couple other REs (650cc). Low swept pipes, not scrambler, but this RE is worth a look. The old Suzuki GS450 was lots of fun and you might be able to find one used . It has a 6speed parallel twin with a high revving counter balanced engine. It might be easier to find than a CL350.
