Seems as good a place as any to ask @CX500s

Complete rookie @vintage or 40yr old bikes..... but have owned a sport bike in the past and just got a 2022 sport bike I don't ride as much as I'd like. The CX500 would be more of an around town errands ride...

Keep the rubber side down...
I know this doesn't answer the question, but..

Your Ninja 400 is an around town errand bike that just happens to look like a sport bike. I have a Ninja 300 and wouldn't dare call it a sport bike ;)

I'd be curious to know how much of a parts bike the '82 is, if it's got better electrical than the 81 it would be my preference to go with that but engine/mechanical shape I'd think to be of the most concern.
