Default Free 1981 Cb650: Any Interest at all??

Have a 1981 Honda Cb650 sitting in my garage begging forsomeone to restore it. Only has 8k miles on the clock. Just trying to get rid of it.

Only hitch is that Im currently at school, Bike is located in NOVA. So if anyone wanted it, it would basically be whenever i could get up there.

Will post pictures later.

Needs: new tank, probably new tires, brakes probably.

Comes with 1982 Nighthawk carbs that have removable pilot jets. Also some cafe racer "low" handlebars.

yeah. I'm a 4th year senior graduating in May. I want to get my bike out sometime soon but likely won't until Spring Break (my superhawk is back in DE). I know rguy goes to school here too. He has the red r6. What bike do you ride? and yeah of course I'd ride. sometime here when I get my bike back I'm gonna do some riding with the guy who lives next to me who has the customized sv650 (gixxer1000 front forks/6-pot brakes, zx-10r rear shock and more)

Bike def needs work, a lot of the stuff can be found cheap at http://www.oldbikebarn.com

Bike would be cheap to get running but probably $$ to get looking pretty
