classic motorcycle
I stumbled on a chance to pick up 2 near mint condition classic motorcycles. I only got a brief look at them, and after some searching, I believe them to be honda (I'm certain they're honda) CL90 from sometime during the 60s. Searching the net came up with little information on these babies, so I was wondering if they're something worth investing time and money into. Thanks

If they are near mint, they should be running, ready to go with just a few repairs, maybe something cosmetic? If they have been sitting for a long time and are simply near mint by appearance because they were covered, or otherwise well-protected, they will require a good deal of work and money to be road-worthy again. Parts availability will be a huge roadblock, too.
I've personally never even seen one up close, but I've read a bit about them and they were cherished bikes in their day. If you want some nostalgia to ride around on go for it, but I doubt they will bring you much in the way of profit, unless you are getting for next to nothing.

I've been consistently impressed at the availability of parts for my bike through eBay. Also when you get into classic bikes the people that tend to be into them are really nice to deal with so you can track down all kinds of stuff with a few connections.

Re: classic motorcycle
Classic motorcycle always gives performance and the classic elegance. Such motorcycle are most expendable motorcycles with better reliability, constancy and stability.
