Hi welcome from me. Much more enjoyable and less of a money pit getting a CB500/550, trust me I know from bitter experience! Best bet is either a low miler import from someone like DK or Summerbud Classics. Bide your time and wait until there's one with no bidding war and try to get one with decent chromework, particularly the original DID rims. Expect the bike to have been fannied around with by the Yanks (bodges/bits missing etc). Nice day out at DK if you want to suss one out ( ie check the oil and the chromework) and whilst you are there you can barter at the parts counter. Don't worry about original exhausts too much as chances are they may look OK but very often sh*gged, or close to it.
