THis should be in Other Bikes. And if you search it, you'd find your answers. Not nearly as good as it's 450 predicesor.

NOT WORTH $3.50 WITH GAS AT $4.00

The 500T was the last step in the evolution of the CB450.  They were not as popular and didn't have as good of performance.  They have a nice engine and are fun to ride, but I would offer half the asking price.  Unless it is in perfect shape I would not go over $700

I think many folks' expectations of what a good running classic bike is worth today are not up to the market.  While the 500T is not as well liked as the 450's, they're starting to pick up a clut following, not unlike Edsels.  If the bike is in nice stock shape and runs well, I think it could easily be worth $1350, but it all depends on condition.
