Hi Peter------- I'm on my 4th 500cc iron barrel Bullet and it's my second "Bullet '65".........I'd recommend this particular one as it has both electric start AND the 5-speed gearbox AND it's left foot change ( One down, 4 up )......As you've probably seen on here there is a wealth of International help and experience to call on PLUS}--- Our hosts have all the parts and accessories that any major manufacturer would be proud of.......
From Telford I ride in Shropshire and the Welsh hills, down to Malvern and Hereford or up to North Wales and even out to Leicester or the Derbyshire Dales on my "Red Baron"... I take a small tool kit, my mobile phone and my Insurance Recovery No...As the 350 / 500 both share an almost identical chassis there is very little to choose in the handling or comfort department..... but as someone has already mentioned the 500 has the "Longer legs" going uphill......The 350 never had an electric start although I believe you can retro-fit the 5-speed box.............Whatever you choose do think about joining your local owners group to enjoy some mutual ride-out fun come the summer......Here's my Red Baron enjoying the view at Lake Vyrnwy Dam, Wales last Autumn......
