I love that era CB500s, handy little bikes. Should be squeakily cheap though.
Do you mean the NTV650 Reverie? Those things are dull as ditch water. If you mean the 650 Bros / Hawk, they're lovely. Even the Bros 400 wasn't bad, if a bit gutless.

I had an NTV650 and it was pretty fun - same engine as the bros/transalp but shaft drive - are you confusing it with the dullville (deauville)? It accelerated well, sounded good and topped out around 110, very similar to the cb500 but much better handling.

Yeah - that's the one. I didn't like them much - thought the CB500 was much better handling and peppy. In fairness, the only ones I rode were high mileage, courier hacks. I liked the old GPZ500s too, though you had shitty tyre choice with the front 16" rim.
