I was looking for a good solid bike that i can learn the ins and outs about a motorcycle.  A buddy of mine is willing to sell me his 1980 CB750C for almost nothing.  The only problem is that he started tearing it down to rebuild it.  He assures me that the motor turned and the bike was in excellent condition before he started.  Its current state is the motor is tore apart for rebuild.  I am mechanically inclined but have never worked on a motorcycle.  So my question is, is this bike difficult to rebuild or am i gonna need an engineering degree to get this thing to run.  I appreciate any advice.
