The motor would probably be more stressed in most places in the USA what with all our highways and freeways. But for city stuff and weekend relaxed rides, yeah, I wouldn't mind having one of that size.
Well, for freeway riding, yes. What I meant by less stressed was that the 350 is essentially the same motor as the 500, but with a smaller, lighter piston, and maybe lighter flywheels as well. Yeah, its upper limits will be less than that of the 500, but for non freeway cruising, it might be smoother and less stressed. I have always been under the impression that the 350 also got a few more mpg than the 500, but maybe that's no longer the case with the new motor.
