Best pre'75 you can get and learner legal in most states... Yamaha RD350

Have to agree...hard to go past the RD's. Reliable, still reasonably priced and great road burners when you want them to be.
A lot of young blokes getting into them now, and it's unlikely to go down in value.

Good old CB Honda like my old 450 twin cam twin cylinder, they are relieable, learner legal and most certainly classic.
