Some good thoughts folks. I appreciate the inputs. Just to be clear, when I say "top of the market" for this 30 year old Honda I'm talking about $2100. KBBs website shows it at $1900 from a dealer in good condition for what it's worth.
I do understand why some of you folks are advising me to get something that has been down before. Looking for the last few weeks, I have perused many an ad and have been to see about a dozen different bikes in my "no more than $2000" budget. Pretty much everything that I have seen is not much less in price, but has either been on its side or needs mechanical work.
Regarding the advice that I look for something newer, unless it's basically scrap I haven't found much that is newer. Maybe it's just the market here. I should have been looking in November.
