If you do not know all that much about bikes i'de at least take it into a shop so they can look it over for you. I'de hate for you to get out there and find out there is a problem. Seeing that it is an 85 i'de flush all brake fluid, change coolant, oil & filter, fuel filter,check tires " side wall cracks are bad ".
That't all I can think of for the basics for now. Keep on top of the maitenance so you don't run into problems later.
