Hails to the community! I'm new here; first post and I've been enjoying trolling the tech and casual threads on here. It's always ncie to run into a fan base community.
I did a search for "buying tips" "what to look for" etc. and didn't turn up anything. But, I'm heading out this week to look at a ~5k original mile 1972 CB450. The guy tells me the chrome isn't even pitted and he thinks the front tire is original. It was garage kept and un-ridden for 30 years. He's put ~20 miles on recently and didn't notice any problems. Anyway, any tips for what to look for on this beast would be greatly appreciated (especially motor-wise)....thanks!
