I have no experience with them, but I get the impression that they are ok in the hands of a relatively competent home mechanic, someone who has wrenched on bikes before. In my eye, these seem to be for someone who appreciates a quirky, rough around the edges bike. If you prefer a no muss, no fuss ownership experience, something like the Yamaha SR400 might satisfy one's retro cravings or a used Triumph Bonneville. My 2 cents, anyway.
