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.
I think many of the comments on this thread are spot on, specifically, the CB350 and CB1100 are very different bikes which complement each other rather than are substitutes for each other; they sit on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of physical size, usable torque characteristics, parts availability / dealer support, cost, etc.
I'd buy the CB1100 first and then refine the CB350; my '75 CB400F will be restored this winter while the summer is being spent riding the CB1100.

After over 50 motorcycles (started at 16) I can tell you this: Go get yourself a 2013 CB1100 as fast as you can get down to the dealers!!! I just love this bike more and more. Wind and Big trucks does not move this bike around very much at all. And after you get your CB1100, let me know how right I was!!! But, and there is always a but-- you will need a better seat. And that's about all. You can take off in 1st. and jump right to 5th. It pulls from 2,000rpm on up!!! And is so smoooooom!!!!!! God Bless..

I Completely agree with you Jayimpalaman.... This is one of the most stable motorcycles out on the road ...And yes, as mentioned , it needs a more cushiony seat.....

A K&H seat is the answer.
