Flip a coin and pick what you want-
Cheap, easy to work on, good for learning how to wrench.
VS
40 year old carb'd 6 cylinder motorcycle
Yes- it is my opinion that they are mutually exclusive.
That being said, I also think the best way to learn the basics is what many have done for decades- start on a single cylinder dirtbike. Cheap and easy. You can find numerous street legal versions if that is a requirement.
Or maybe a twin like a CB350 if you want something old with a 'cool' vibe.
