The problem with something like that Nighthawk is that it will have a lot of deferred maintenance. It won't n=be obvious at first but there will be a lot of things that need attention. Yeah, you can ride it as-is and be blissfully ignorant of the issues, but they are there. After 25-30 years, the forks, shocks, suspension bearings and seals, brakes, etc. will be in less than stellar condition. That's why I suggest something newer.

That, and even basic bikes are better than they were in 1985. Things have moved on quite a bit.
