I do a lot of motorcycle restoration work, I think you would be shocked to learn what it takes to get a 40-year-old motorcycle back in good condition, assuming it's even all there. When you have something that old, even if you don't do a full restoration, the only way to do the work properly is to essentially strip the thing down to a bare frame and start from there. If you want to tackle that as a hobby, where the work is as rewarding as the finished product, then go for it. If you want something fun to ride before you get too old to do it, buy something else.
An RD350 was the 1st street bike I rode, back in the day, and I think the memories are probably better than the reality.
Have I entertained the thought of buying an old RD 350? Sure. Have I entertained the thought of building a hot rod Kawasaki triple? Sure. Have I pulled the trigger on any of those ideas? Nope.
