cheap used motorcycles-how hard to rebuild?
When I was younger I had many street bikes but once the wife became pregnant I decided to stop riding, that was aprox. 28 years ago  I have my hands full with my 914 project car and really can't take on another project right now. But some guys at work are thinking about getting bikes and it got me thinking. So I looked on the local Craigslist today and there were quite a few cheap used bikes. By cheap I mean 500.00-700.00. There were Kawasaki 750's 1982 vintage,Kawasaki XZKR 97 vintage etc. The two examples I stated both were running the 97 needed tranny work. So how hard is it to rebuild these older bikes? How hard to get parts? I rode Yamahas and Suzukis in my time but I think all the Japanese bikes are pretty good quality. It would just be another weekend toy as my commute to work is less than 15 minutes so daily fuel economy is not the main goal. Thoughts?
