Hello there, what do you think about a "swap" betwen a cb550k3 and one cb350 Bi-cylinder from 1972? The two bikes in similar condition of engine,paint,etc,etc
Thank you in advance.

Piki, i would stay with the K3. The parts for the 350 are hard to find unless you get everything from the states. Are there many 350 in Spain?

Hi trigger, not parts in Spain for any Japan Bike of seventies... The seller gift me a lot of parts:seats,mudguards,tank,crankshaft,etc,etc. I am bored about of my 550 K3 and I can sell it and get the 350....Is funny the 350???

I love my CB350K twin but compared to the 500 or 550 it seems small and under-powered. Great for footling about around country lanes but if you have to go over 60MPH ( 96 Km/h ) it is very busy. I first got mine in 1985 and I still have it. When I was younger I went everywhere on it and it was great fun but I feel like I've grown out of it. I often dream of having another twin because I like their low down grunt but I think I would go for something bigger, at least 650.
The other day I rode a Moto Guzzi 1100. That was ultra torque.
