I had a 3.5 for a good few years ( a later cast wheel one with a bikini fairing) It was a nice bike but not very fast. The main problem was the white metal main bearing shells, which didn't last very long relatively speaking. It was a very expensive bike when new.... more than a Norton Commando but nowhere near as fast. There was a UK dealer called Wee Vee who supplied all the spares you needed. Sadly no longer around like North Leicester Motorcycles who took over , but shut quite recently.
My old bike is still around but has been in bits for years. My friend also has one that he will do up when he retires, so they seem to be quite popular
