First time restoration !

<< < (2/3) > >>

I would get the bike that appeals to you as something you would enjoy riding when the resto is complete just as much as the resto itself.  Don't be put off by taking on a 4 cylinder bike, there are plenty of very knowledgeable people here who will keep you on the straight and narrow.  Good luck

Any 550 except the K3 model has plenty of parts about and 550 normaly cheaper than 500.
G5 can be a real pig to work on and some parts are very difficult to get and expensive

russ_fae_fyvie:
Many thanks for the replies guys, some pointers there for me.

Just another question, any thoughts on bikes that DK Classic Motorcycles sell ?

They have containers on bikes in now and again and put them on their Ebay shop, seen a few on there but wondered if anyone had used the and are they any good ?

As I live over 400 miles from their place not practical to go and look so would have to rely on photos and a phone conversation so any thoughts on them would be appreciated as well

cheers

Just another pointer on the 750 as I don't know your health etc but the 750 is a heavy bugger and take some moving around.
Don't ask me how I know  ;)

As has been said buy a bike you will be happy with my last ride was a XJ900F I sold it when I started to struggle pulling it onto the centre stand.

I went for a CB400F restoration as it is a much lighter bike plus it still has some oomph!
