Default What do I need to look for in a project bike?

Hello folks,

I am thinking of picking up a used motorcycle to use as a project bike. I simply want to pull it apart, clean it, and restore it. Now, the question(s) I have are, what are the signs I should look for in deciding what to buy or not buy?

I'm not dead set on a particular motorcycle other than I want it to be a cruiser.
