I have a '79CX500 at home. Thing starts everytime and that motor runs smooth as silk. When you get on it hard the bike kinda torques left and right, really unique feeling. This has been a fun discussion to read haha just buy the damn thing.
Bought! Before I tear down/rebuild it this winter I'll do simple things like oil, valve adj, cam chain tension, and plugs just to see how good it'll run. It runs decent now, but the exhaust h-box is leaking which is what I think is causing a lot of hesitation when coming off idle.

when first staring the bike cold, continually check both pipes at idle to see if one is taking longer than the other to get hot. Clogged pilots seemed to be a somewhat regular thing with one of mine.
