Never been to CR so don't know what speeds are generally ridden
It would be; the 190 might have a little more grunt, comes with knobby tires, a rear rack and a 21" front rim vs. the 150's 19", so either would work well, but I'm leaning towards the 190.

Not too fast. The main hiways have lots of traffic, 60mph is plenty fast. The main paved road I would travel most frequently is between San Isidro del General at 700m down to coastal Dominical. It's 35 kilometers of up and down constant hair-pin turns, lots of fun to ride, speeds at 15-45mph. Branch off either side of this two lane road and it's all unpaved, so the CB350 makes no real sense...but it's just neat looking!
We have a 1 kilometer unpaved road (earth and rock hard-packed) leading to our neighborhood...this is it:

That's my old CGL125 that I gave to the landscaper/guard in exchange for some work on our house. After 12 years in the jungle, it's still running strong, albeit rusted out some.

I had a few single cylinder bikes as s teenage, so don’t want them any more
But they would allow you to recover some of your youth! : )
