My brother and I have been thinking about restoring my dad's old bike for something to just ride on nice days. We're not out for any real performance, just something to spend time on together. It's a '73 Honda CL350 with just under 5500 miles. Been stored indoors since '76. Here's a couple pics.

No, it was a 350. Looked just like that, but red, different exhaust and i think the seat was a tad different. I dont remember all the lines in it.

definitely restore it. will prob take a lot of taking shit apart and cleaning it unless it was stored properly.

mine had a lovely crash on her best friends rebel last night and the bike is in ok shape just needs a mirror and shift lever other than that it should be ok. so i have to work on getting that repaired before her friend knows it went down.

A friend of mine has one of these. I think it is frickin' sweet. He restored his for pretty cheap too, bought all the parts on ebay for it.
