trade advice please

I have a survivor 1972 cb350. All original except the 1972 Rickman cafe bars. Runs like a top. I'm thinking about selling it and replace it with a 1987 savage 650 bobber. Pics below. Would you rid the 350 for the 650 thumper if you were me. I have a couple other bikes but not a bobber.

I would say no to the trade personally. While the savage is sort of clean it's not my cup of tea. I think the cb has more value based on the one photo of each. You bike appears cleaner and in my eyes adds more value.
 
+1. You might be able to sell the CB and do better on your return. Buy another bike, with cash to spare.
 
Thanks....I'm sort of not willing to part with the little 350 unless of course there's another good bike that would entice me. Here's a couple more pics of it. But if there are others that want to give me their peace.....I'd sure like to hear it.

That 350 is suhweet. The Savage...meh.

The 350 will go up in value if you keep it in good condition. The Savage won't go up in value unless you plate it in gold. Even then you'd have to sell it to someone in Dubai or some crazy shit like that.

The 350 is a known quantity to you. The Savage looks like an unknown, I'd have a lot of questions about the work that's been done, and anything that needs to be done right away, or in the near future.

I stick with the 350 myself.
 
Nooooo way... Thats a fairly stock and pretty cb350, the icon of the honda cafe scene. Hold on to that, if you do trade it that bobber doesnt even come close.
