I had a 1973 Honda CL350 Scrambler that a traded some welding equipment for.
For a vintage 350cc engine, it was ok for modern street usage, as long as I'm not in a hurry to get to place.
Suspensions were really soft, but it always turned heads wherever it's parked. Even had a GPS mounted on it.
I got it running and put about 14k miles on it before the head gasket blew, still sold it for more than I spent on it.
The Trail90 that I converted to Scrambler was a sad sod to begin with:
I ditched the seized up engine for a 140cc Chinese engine with 4-speed & clutch.
Extended swingam, fuel tank from a Yamaha, converted to 12v system and much more..
Vintage Hondas are fun to toy around and easy to maintain.
They seem to have become novelty vehicles now, with a cult following, collectable value is high in them.
But for practicality, ebikes can be just as capable and without the need for licensing, registration, inspection & insurance to operate.
Road rules are also 'bendable' when you operate an ebike.
Even the Australian Po/mail services are phasing out the old Posties:
