Don't let the maintenance issues of a 1970's bike scare you from a more 
modern 4-cylinder.
 I've put over 100,000 miles on my '83 and it has been more reliable than 
any single- or two-cylinder bike I'd ever owned.  For decades, I stuck with 
singles and twins because I feared the maintenance issues from a 4-cylinder 
bike.  Big mistake.

  You don't want a 250 or even a 500.  Get a tiddler and you'll be ready for 
a "real" bike all too soon.
