Newby from Belgium
« on: March 26, 2019, 11:58:49 AM »
Hello,

I'm a total newby. I'm looking to buy a CB350F or a 550.
Some pro's or contra's? I'm afraid the cb350 will feel a little small.

I've had a CBR125R, KTM Duke 125 and a Triumph Street triple.

there will be almost no highway use...

Welcome from Minnesota,

The 550 will be able to keep up on 4 lane highways.  80 mph is easily attained with room to spare.
