A Japanese bike would probably be too obvious for him, as this is a romantic style vision, not a practical one. I assume he will buy and unload within a year or two.

What sorts of bikes could be start looking into?
BSA? Triumph? BMW? Moto Guzzi?

He knows nothing, so any buyer guide links would be helpful.
do your friend a favor, ride in the back of a pick up truck with him and chuck him out at about 50, if he gets up and says lets do it again then you can shop for a bike, motorcycles don't suffer fools or dilettantes well, ask him how his health insurance is and is he adverse to long stays in hospitals, the mustang is a better choice
