Default Honda cl450k5

Hey everyone,

I am curious if this is a good bike to learn on, i have never ridden a motorcycle in my life and im going to be getting an extremely great deal on it ($300) and it looks like its in great condition as far as body and rust (barely any) the owner has never taken it out but the gentleman before him tried to make it a drag bike and got a different handle bar for it that sits about level with the gas tank, i think that he was trying to make it a cafe racer (researched it online). it also needs to have the carb. taken apart and cleaned, thats what he thinks that needs to be done when he has started it up, i trust him with what he says due to running plenty of funny cars and all that. i think that i can do all the work myself and i have alot of diffrent resources to either make a new part or get a replacement. please tell me what you think.

Thanks Guys
Brandon
