Welcome to the forum.

I had basically zero mechanical experience prior to getting my cb750 3 years ago.  With the help of this form (and others) I just completed a top-end rebuild (lapped valves, cleaned pistons, installed 900 cams, etc...).

You can do it if you have the time and are willing to invest in some tools.  I bought my bike for $750 running and I thought it was a fantastic deal given where I live.  It sounds like prices where you live are similar to here.  $3K for a running SOHC or DOHC is pretty standard.

You can use carb cleaner on the carbs, but don't soak them in it unless you are fully breaking them down.  If you have questions about carbs just ask.  There are great resources here.
