I would likely pick this up as either a restore & sell or as a commuter if it was worth the money.

Not worth it my opinion. For $1500 I bet you could find a good working old Honda, Yamaha, etc. that works better to begin with and you can find parts for them. Even if fully restored I doubt that model would be worth much. The bevel drive twins and singles are much more sought after.

Thanks! The '81 Honda 750 for $975 I found is probably a much better bet for clean & resale then ~

I agree especially if you're looking to clean something up and turn it over. Very limited audience for that duc.
