Default Questions...

Ok, I am searching for a first bike ( Well, I plan on buying a new one late next year. Sport bike ( Nothing like a Gixxer or anything of that nature.. ) Ok here's the question..

CM400 Hondamatic. 2 for sale.. one's a 1978 with 2200 miles on it for $1200, other is 1980 Not sure of miles for $700. Both running. No major issues with either from what I can tell.

Would it make a good starter bike? ( It's a 2 speed auto )
I hear it's pretty light at Highway speeds ( Which will be about 45% of my ride )
I am just looking for something to get me around and give me some experiance before I spend $6k on a new bike. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.
