I'm thinking about buying this bike:

It will be my first bike. Should I jump on it? He'll take $350 cash. Everyone says I should get a twin for my first bike and I'm a pretty small guy so I was leaning towards something smaller.

CB650's are good, solid bikes, if a little boring. Perfect first bike, as long as you're okay with fixing what's wrong with it. I'd be worried about the smoking, valve seals generally only cause smoke at start-up. If it always smokes, I'd fast it's more likely piston rings, which is a bigger job to fix. I'd be more inclined to pick up the GS500e that was advertised for $300, but that's me.
