Thinking about buying another bike...

This just popped up on the not-so-local kijiji today:

Honda CX500 1982 in what looks like really good condition for $500. Might not be a runner without carb work, and there are no pics of the right side (I've asked for them), but I'm heading up that way this weekend anyway, and may get myself another toy.

Nice! I just sold my 82 CX500D that was customized a bit. I bought it, but decided I really wanted to finish my XS400r Seca instead.

I hated the seat, but with a new seat it would've been awesome. I loved the gas tank.

I had a CX500, great bikes if a bit ugly!

Ugly? To each their own. I think they're beautiful (even though this one is the less attractive "custom" version...)

we called them plastic maggots

here's mine back when..

I love it. But then, I loved my 1st generation Suzuki Bandit too, and that one wasn't a looker, according to most...

My kid has a CB450SC and I love the way it sounds,feels and rides. Dont know how that compares to the CX500!? Hondas are nice.
Drewpy, you moto whore! I suspect you have been with many beautiful motos in your life.That plastic maggot is beautiful. Molded gas tank and color scheme was cool.
Good Luck BW with CX500 if you get it! One critical thing to consider if you purchase it is....hows the CX500 forum? hahaha just kiddin

forgot to mention in the background was my dad's pug 405 GTI, that thing did wheel spins in 3rd gear without dumping the clutch and was one of the original hot hatches in the UK.
