Last fall I picked up a '91 750 Nighthawk for $750 with the intention of fixing it up and selling for a bit of profit. To say that it was a running bike would be generous but it did fire up. I got it home and after cleaning the carbs it ran much better.
Then my son and his girlfriend flew up from Florida to visit us and Junior loved the little Honda and he wanted it as a commuter bike. So I bought and mounted a new set of tires, bled the front brake, changed the oil, and put new plugs in. I then bought a cheap Ebay rack and threw on an old top box that I had in the shop and just generally lubed and freshened the 30 year old bike as best I could.
I will be trailering the bike to Florida in November and I hope that It'll be a solid commuter bike for him. With only 17,000 miles it should have a lot of life left and the total cost was only about $1200.
