Upgrade to the 400F.
Much, much more superior Honda. The 350F was terribly underpowered, but a good effort. Honda got the upgrade right.
Unlike the 350 twin. When that went to 360, it was a flawed unit... and the CB450. The 500T was junk.

I hear what you are saying, BUT, emotions and feelings are individual and the '73 CB350/4 was my 1st bike, I would never substitute my 1st girl just like there is no substitute for my 1st bike

If I were just going to buy a small bore bike that had no connection to my past, it would not be any of those, in fact it would not even be the slightly older 550/4 which I also rode and enjoyed, Tom's bike was red, my CB350/4 was black with gold stripes

For a small cc bike this CB400 SuperFour was one of my favorites

My 1st neck snapping acceleration happened on the VFR the very 1st time I rode to work
I was in 2nd doing about 40 on a 4-lane road in the city, Exchange Blvd
A Tahoe was being as asss trying to get around me and proceeded to squish me in my lane as he cold not pass the slow car in the left lane
I was in the right lane minding my own business
When I realized the Tahoe was moving over into my lane to try and push me out of the way, all I wanted to do was get out of its way
I yanked back on the throttle and the damn VFR stood right up on the back tire
I nearly chit my pants
The VFR took off like a shot
To this day I'm not really sure how I kept it together because I had never done a wheelie like that before
V4, awesome engine
Let me just say, the 650 Nighthawk would never have done that, and that was what I was used to

I LOVE MY VFR!

One of those almost killed me in 1978. a connecting rod snapped in half while going 90mph; left a long skidmark before pulling the clutch lever. Might have browned my boxers. The good thing was Jeff was chasing me on a new Honda CX500 (RD350 was quicker until it blew), and he was able to tow me back with some kind of a strap he had. The best part is, it wasn't my bike
