A 350 single should be able to do 80-100MPH with no problems. I had a 100cc street/trail Yamaha in 68 that would do 70.
Sorry Ron, but either you're dreamin' here and/or your recollection of that old Yamaha of yours has been filtered through rose-colored glasses after all these years. Yep, okay, that 100cc Yamaha might have done 70, but not for any length of time...or at least comfortably so.
Take for instance that a modern Kawasaki KLR650 single will cruise at 75MPH somewhat comfortably, but a 350cc single would pretty much be screamin' near its limits at that speed. And, at "80-100MPH"? That little sucker would REALLY be screamin' at its limits.
(...while going downhill with a strong tailwind!)
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
