The leanburn engine is better than the old iron engine. You will also benefit from a modern 5 speed gearbox which is a lot better than the old 4 speed. The 350 leanburn engine is more reliable and smoother than the European model with the 500 cc engine. Lots have done around the 100K mark without needing repair.
A near perfect bike would be a 350cc conversion of the electric start European lean burn Electra.
In either case use Non Indian made chains. ( those from Elite are not only better but also cheaper than OEM part)
