I think what I need to do... is get my CB350 running properly (braking and carburation) and see if this holds back my urge to buy a standard (CB1100).
In the meantime, I need to locate a dealer that will allow a test ride of the bike... the few I have contacted do not.
If I am still obsessing after the CB350 is fully resurrected - I will pursue the CB1100 new and/or the used market next season.
I am thinking one way or another.... this bike is eventually going to be in my garage - my guess is that riding it will seal the deal.
Good luck with whatever you decide. I think the CB350F is a jewel. Someone had a fully restored one and was asking $5999 for it (with spares).. good thing I had already gotten the CB1100, or....
As for 'cruisers' (I don't think any such word in this context existed before the '70s (?)), I read too many chopper magazines at the drug store (before 'drug' became a bad word) as a kid.. I'm brainwashed and I can't give them up :-)
