Hi, I have owned a 1978 Honda 750F for the last seven years and I can say that I have been very happy with the bike after owning a Harley FLH for ten years, it is faster than the Harley, more fun to ride, less work and cost to repair and even if it was broke which it never is I wouldn't feel bad since it only cost 900 dollars as compared to the Harley which cost 6000 dollars when I bought it in 1990. I will say this, the resale value of the Honda has not increased much in the years I've owned it but since I don't want to sell it that's OK, I would say the vintage Honda is a great value for fun and reliability but with a bit of looking around a vintage Triumph 650 can be a superior investment of your money, I bought one six years ago for 800 dollars and I could probably get 3000 dollars out of it today. Hope this helps, Phil.
