Hey all,
I've currently been checking out two bikes to buy as a regular ride, a '78 Honda CB400 four or a '73 Yamaha TX650. Both are road legal and serviced with a lot of paperwork. They're all mainly original but the 400 has a small dent on the tank and some light chrome pitting. The TX is missing some side trim and has a little oil leak.
The TX is a touch more than the CB400, but is a little more rarer and maybe more sort after over here. Not sure which is harder to get parts for, and whether the Four is trickier to work on than the twin? Which is a better ride... I hear the XS, being a parallel twin was a bit more vibey?
Any words of wisdom would be greatly received thanks!
