Looking for a used "Classic" or "Standard" type motorcycle (no crotch rockets or Harleys). Prices should be in the extreme low end, up to (maybe) $400. For that price I'm of course expecting something from the late 70's up to the mid 80s. Mainly I want something to work on over the winter so I can ride it in the spring, so barely running bikes are ok, as long as things can be fixed with elbow grease (and parts off ebay).

Craigslist and the Want Advertiser are your friends.

There are many, many mid-70's to mid-80's Japanese bikes out there. I'm personally partial to Suzuki and Honda, partly for reasons of parts availability from that era.

Also, you may want to check this out (it has exhaustive detail, but lots of things to learn):
