I know we have some resident experts on the older honda twins. A buddy of mine is looking to replace his '79 vespa px125 with something a bit more stable and predictable. He found this FS, a 1976 cb360t. Seller is asking $800 but would probably take between 6-700. I haven't seen the bike, but to me it looks in decent condition. The cooling fins on the engine case have some oxidation and the exhaust pipe & rear springs are a bit rusty, pretty par for the course. It needs a new battery, but is in running condition otherwise.
I'm worried mostly about the carb / throttle body area. Not only is it a bit grungy looking, but there's some stains underneath on the left side of the engine, and the plastic intake tube on the right cylinder appears to be cracked.
My friend isn't too mechanically inclined, so if there's any work I'm likely going to get stuck doing it. What say you, PW? Anything else I should look at? Are parts readily available for this? I'm thinking at the price, spending a hundred or so on parts won't be throwing money away. Thumbnail pics link to larger images.
