My first bike was an '81 CB650C. It was very nice to ride. Comfortable. Fast enough to be fun. Easy to work on. I bought it non-running for $550, dumped the gas, cleaned the carb, replaced the battery, put like 10k on it, then sold it for $900. That was 10 years ago. (Holy fuck when did I get old?)

Anyhow, that thing looks really clean. If anyone is looking for a first bike or just something to cruise around on, this would be a great pick up. Be warned though, having a center-stand will spoil you forever. 🙂
