81 Honda CX500 vs 85 VT500

Akilldema · 04-25-2010, 03:26 PM

I'm looking for a cheap cruiser to ride around on and fix up a bit. There are a couple of local bikes that I'm looking at (see title) but I know basically nothing about. The VT500 has less miles, but the CX seems to have had more thorough maintenance. It's recently had a bunch of seals replaced, fluids flushed, carbs rebuilt, etc. Does anyone have any experience with either of these that could help me decide?
