1976+ Honda Sport?

She called it a Honda Sport, so that's all I know. I was talking about getting a starter bike with a girl at work, and she offered me a 1976ish Honda Sport. Its her and her husbands, 1 owner, and nothings ever been wrong with it. She said they rode it, parked it in the garage, and its been sitting there for 12 years untouched since than. Obviously it will need some work, but would this make a decent starter bike? Also I despise the seats of those older bikes, so would this be an easy upgrade? Her daughter is dusting it off this week and taking some pictures, ill post them when I get them.

It's either a CB750 or 500 Supersport. I have a 75 standard cb750 and owned a 78 supersport before that. There are a huge amount of aftermarket parts for these bikes depending on what you want to do with them so a new seat would be no big deal. I am turning mine into a cafe style bike so it's got new bars, new seat, lowered front and rear 4-1 exhaust etc... Check out sohc4.net for pretty much anything you want to know.
