Hi, everyone.
New rider here, recently endorsed, looking for a motorcycle.
I've been doing my research and trying not to rush into buying the first bike I see but I don't know much and have very little riding experience.
I recently found an '82 XS400S for sale nearby and would like to check it out.

Price-wise, it's within my budget but according to KBB value it seems a bit steep, but coming from a dealer, it may be expected.
I do have a couple of questions and I appreciate those of you who take the time to answer if you can:

I do have a couple of questions and I appreciate those of you who take the time to answer if you can:
- Would you recommend it for an inexperienced rider?
- How hard or costly would it be to upgrade it to, for example, disk brakes?
- Anything to watch out for on this specific model that you're aware of?
