I currently have a 1984 Honda XL350 and just sold a 1982 Honda XL500.
I enjoy the 350 very much on the dirt, which i ride quite frequently,
it's not too heavy, at least not as much as the 500 was, and still has
mucho low end torque, no not as much as the 500, but enough.  Having a 
six (6) speed transmission helps on the freeway also, although you 
don't really want to go more than 70mph or so, as the bike is light,
about 320lbs.

I have just started looking at the Yamaha XT350, as I am a true
Yamaha fan, and I also notice some features on the Yamaha that
are not on the Honda, mainly a tach.

just wanted to throw in my 2 cents worth and possibly enlighten someone.
