Default Classic motorcycles?

I'm really starting to get interested in some classic motorcycles. There was a guy posted on here about his 1975 Honda CL 360. Since then I've kinda been wanting to get one to fix up. Of course I will always have a CBR for the sport bike side. But, having one of these would be cool to putt around town.

I have a CB 360T, that is alittle more than a putt putt toy. It is a blast and even more fun when I pull up places and people start to freak out. People see it as a toy of sorts rather than a motorcycle, I get smiles and enjoyment rather than "look at that sportbike kid!!!"

Classic fix-ups can be really rewarding if you're patient & resourceful. Always nice to see classics on the road. The CL recommendations are good. I've seen many for sale this way. Too, like anything, there are online clubs for swapping parts, etc.

I sold an 1973 350four a couple years ago. It was a fun, kinda sounded like a sewing machine.

I'd like to get my hands on a CB400F. Kinda hard to find one that hasn't been chopped and in decent shape.
