Default 1985 Nighthawk 650

So, I'm looking for some advice for my first bike. I’ve heard so many great things about Nighthawks, and I’m thinking about buying this bike from someone off of Craig’s List for $750. The only thing is the gas tank has a hole in it, which the owner says he’s welding right now. I guess that wouldn’t scare me so much if he hadn’t already had to fix a hole in the tank just like it. I’m nervous that there is something wrong on the inside of the tank; like that it’s rotting or something.

Is buying this bike a bad idea?

It also has some rust apparently on the shock absorbers and other chrome, but it has a new battery, a new clutch handle cylinder and new front brakes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

-Christie
