I would suggest looking for a late 80's/early 90's GS500. 500 cc air cooled parallel twin with no efi. Easy to work on, plentiful/cheap parts, plenty of smooth, linear power, and fun as hell. The bikes are really light and easily flickable between the twisties. Oh, and you can get them for 8-1200 all day long in really nice shape.

+1 Got a '02 with around 11xxx miles for 1600. It needed nothing but new fluids. Inexpensive purchase, cheap insurance, parts readily available, and low maintenance costs= WIN!sigpic

I've had a couple friends that have owned CB-1s and both enjoyed them. A 400 4cyl is never going to be fast and they (all 400cc 4cyls) are sensitive to carb sync and tuning. That being said, it is a Honda so its a solid bike.

I'm considering selling my gixxer for something different, I really want to get out of the whole high performance inline 4's thing and get something a touch more upright and overall more fun to boot around in town with some decent highway performance.
