Default Starting with bikes . . . .94 CBR 600?

Ok, I am thinking about buying my first bike bike. My buddy is selling a 1994 Honda CBR 600 F2 with a used helmet, jacket (not leather, but a bike jacket), and a cover to me for 700 bucks. The bike has 22,xxx miles and has a few scratches on the side but nothing dramatic, and some rust.
It needs a rectifier, clutch and the carbs cleaned out. I know it would cost 100 for the rectifier, and about 100 for the clutch. My other friend is gunna help me install all the stuff and clean out the carbs.
I tried to do research on these bikes but i can only find info on the newer versions. Do you guys think I am wasting my money and time or know a better website with info on these?

i dont believe in getting a project bike as a first bike...i think your first bike should be mechanically sound...but thats your call

just be sure to get some quality riding instruction

thats a great deal on a good starter bike. I would get it as long as there is not "major" issues with it.

Not a bad price, if thats all thats wrong with it. Check the brakes, chain, sprockets, and tires. All those will add up quick...
