Prefer an air cooled T/GT. My first bike back in the day was a GT380J and i still regret trading it for a GS1100E!
I'm in the Saratoga Springs, NY area.

Remember...Cheap entry price equals EXPENSIVE...
Unless you are a GLUTTON for punishment, Like me...
Buy a better bike and it will be a lot less grief/money in the long run!
I have spent way over $1000 (don't tell the wife
) on my barn fresh $600.00 GT750 and it is a ways from being done. THEY ALWAYS cost a lot more than you figure it will...

Absolutely,buy the best you can afford,ride & enjoy as a "rolling restoration" & spend money as you can afford it,these old bikes can be money pits, but are fun once sorted
Cheers,
Roger

My first bike was a free GT380J. It cost about $20 to get running right, lol.

Amen to that. And parts prices seem to up daily.
