Hey guys, new rider, new here. Not sure if this is the right area to be asking questions but here goes.
I don't know anything about bikes yet. Not super mechanically inclined (yet) but I fell in love with the cafe racer style and I'm looking to buy a bike to learn on for a year before I buy a Continental GT.
I found a 1980 xs400 near me with 1900 miles. The guy wants 1500, I was thinking about offering 1100.
My questions are:
Is this a sensible purchase for someone brand new to the hobby?
Is this a decent deal assuming it's in decent condition?
Thanks in advance for any help you're able to offer.
