Classic bikes - are they worth the trouble ?
Been a fan of classic bikes for years but never had the balls to do anything about it, anyway, was just wondering, if you could buy a classic what would you go for ? I love the Honda 400/4 and my first bike was GT 250 X7 in 78 so would happily go one of them, anyway Im rambling here, what would you go for ?

Re: Classic bikes - are they worth the trouble ?
Depends what you define as a classic - I'd love an RC30/45, but I'm not sure that counts

I have a 1978 Honda CB400N Superdream which is good fun but there are better out there.

Re: Classic bikes - are they worth the trouble ?
They will cost you money. In little bite and nibbles they will eat your wallet.
Dont think you can buy a running specimen and just use it; they do brea and quite a lot of the bits you cant get anymore so you have to find s/h or pay for copies. BUT when they are running and you are out on them.............  Someones got to do it or they would just rot away
