What should I pay for a 73 CB350?

[spazzed]

Bike is in 8/10 shape -- everything is complete and it's been in 1 family since new. Hasn't started in 3 years but was running fine when it was parked. Stored indoors. A real survivor. I can pick it up for $800. Good price/deal?

its worth what someone is willing to pay

you willing to pay 800?
are stories of $50 beauties making you obsess over a "killer" deal that you cant just buy something?

Eh -- If it was a 750 or even a 550, I wouldn't even think twice.... I just don't know if this is a deal too-good to pass on. I've got plenty of projects so this one would just be cleaned up and stuck under the girlfriend.

Stored inside or not... Theres always the possibilty of internal issues from how it was put away. They made 300k cb350s for the US market. Its a throw away bike to many. Its also a great bike for a million different reasons. That said, youre looking at new tires/tubes, battery, cables (if they cant be or werent properly greased), perhaps bulbs, cleaning the fuel tank, probobly replacing wheel bearings, a ton of cleaning, possible rust in the exhaust from lack of use, title transfer and registration fees, etc... So... That said, if youre willing to spend $800 plus at least few hundred more in wear parts and whatnot than go for it. Personally, Id see if they were willing to take $400, but Im a cheap asshole.
