So I'm in the market to find the right build for myself. I'm not looking for anything already built up, restored, or modified. To be honest what I'm looking for is something I can pick up for short money, $500 - $1500, that I can have fun taking apart and building back up myself. I've been searching the net and I've found a number of bikes ranging from $700 to $1500 that run, just needed TLC. I just haven't been fast enough to grab them or too far away.

I don't have a car anymore to work on, so I need something to keep me busy.

I really like that old school cafe racer look and feel. I'm interested in late 60's to late 70's Honda, Triumph, Moto Guzzi, or other make of bikes that could be fun to build out as a cafe racer. I would prefer Honda as it will probably be the cheapest for me to buy and build out long term. Ideally looking for a CB750, but would be ok dropping down to the 500.

I do want a running bike, as I don't want to start with rebuilding an engine right away.
