Default Anyone into classic Hondas?

I may be looking into a 1971 this week. Anyone have any good information for me to read or maybe some basic things I should know?

Thanks

i use to have a 1975 CB400F but sold it to fund my Honda car projects and it was being neglected.

This is a good site for info about the older Hondas

I have a 1984 Honda Aero 125. Does that count?

Its a CB100, I was wrong about it being a 125. I'm trying to figure out how to get somthing like a carfax, but these things all use the post 1981 VIN system to check.

bikes are not covered on car fax. But it should be obvious just by looking at it if there is something "wrong" with it with out the need of car fax.

one basic thing you should know is they can get really expensive if the bike is in really good shape. I wanted a little bike like that instead of a scooter.

The vintage Honda bikes are neat. I've owned a couple CB's, I almost bought a 66 Honda S90 the other day, but it was just to "non-original" for my liking.

For the past few years, I've been trying to find an early Honda Dream E type.
