from what I have read, the 350s can get up to 70 mph but run well at about 60 mph. Not sure I'd want a bike that could go much faster than that. Maybe you could convince me as to why I should change my thinking.
A 350 will get up to speed, but it's not the speed, it's the RPM the motor has to run to maintain that speed.
The larger the displacement, the lower the revs to maintain speed and the less work for the engine to do.
I usually ride solo on road trips but did get talked into riding in a 6 man group once. The smallest bike was a 650cc twin and that bike was screaming to keep up with our bikes that were in the 1500cc and up class.
Like already mentioned, buy used, but make sure it's a good buy and if you aren't comfortable looking at used bikes, take along someone with experience and who knows what to look for.

Couple of issues: when I search for used motorcycles on google, there doesn’t seem to be a ton of options online around me. I’ve look on cycle trader and on auto trader but both have very limited options for what I’m looking for.
Second issue is that I know literally no one that has a motorcycle or would be knowledgeable about it. Should I stick to a new bike in that case?
