Alright, i am hoping you knowledgeable guys can help me out.
I am wanting to get my first bike, and have always loved the CBs, and it turns out a friend of mine has a 1979 CB650 for sale. I know she takes care of it and all, and it seems pretty nice, but from the research i've done, it seems that the 79 cb650 is like the "black sheep" of the honda family. Hard to get parts, super specific on what fits, etc which is keeping me form getting it.
However, there is always CB750s up on craigslist all the time for the same price as the cb650 i can get. The cb750 is popular, easy to get parts and can interchange stuff (like tank and other parts).
Overall on any whichever one i get, i'd like to get her running perfect, and learn to ride, then maybe do a cafe style build-up on it (I love metal working, so this would be a nice project)
So, basically, i'd like to hear peoples ideas on what which would be the better bike overall.
Thanks for any input!
