Am going to get a 350lc when i can afford it, won't be for a year and a bit though. An example of what these bikes do for older riders is a mate who is minted but tight, bought a Kawasaki 400S3 for sale that he had from new & was £4700 in a shop. He does ride it but mainly is an ornament in his living room. When there was a F(Formula)2 race series in the eighties that had 2stroke 350's against 600 4stroke twins, the 350 had to be a road engine but could highly tuned and housed in a pukka TZ race chassis. I remember one example in the isle of man that was a non powervalve lc was clocked at the Highlander at something like 175mp. An lc, tzr or whatever even quite standard but well set up with decent tyres would give a good account of itself down a twisty road, probably most bikes would just get in it's way.
