While out for a ride today, I pulled into a bike shop I've never seen before (way out in the boonies). The guy had a late model CB750 that was junk (and way overpriced), a Triumph frame with bits and pieces and a late 70's/early '80's CB500 twin.
The twin looked to be in decent shape minus a torn up seat. He said it needed a starter and some kick start work, but runs fine. How he knows that w/o a starter or kick starter, I don't know....
Actually, I didn't get into all the details because I had no intentions of buying the bike at the time, but the more I thought about it, the more it called my name. He's asking $500. I bet if I started laying hundred dollar bills on the seat I could get it for less.
What's the story on these Honda twins? Is $500 a good price for a complete but non-running bike? I could go back for more info but that might show my hand....
*EDIT* After searching through some images, I'm guessing it's a mid-late '70's bike.
