Just can't decide..
« on: December 23, 2011, 06:57:11 AM »
Kicking this around for a week. Just can't decide if I want another project or for that matter getting into a DOHC Honda.

Price is right however. Comes with sissy bar and wind screen. (not shown)

Looks pretty nice, tank reminds me of an earlier F model.

$500 or less, buy it for kicks, otherwise keep shopping for a SOHC!

It's a little more than that. Condition means a lot however.

It looks like a very clean bike. I would put the windscreen on it along with a tank bag and a set of side bags and use it as a touring rig if that interests you. You might even get some use out of the sissy bar for carrying a passenger or strapping down a load. If that isn't what you're after then it looks like a great rider just like it sits.

If you dont have a plan/vision for it, which I doubt:), let it go.  Why would you take in red headed step child just to keep it in the corner of the garage and always feel guilty you dont ride it often enough.
