Ride it. Just bloody ride it. What is the point of a nice clean bike if you just look at it. All of the tires mentioned are good tires. You dont have to have worry much on these bikes about sport bike levels of grip. Just a good brand of tire and away you go. Regular oil changes away you go.

If I see a cheap nighthawk I'd snatch it up

I put on 2,000 last summer after mid August, and that was with a fractured hip

I just bought a pair of 1980 Specials last year that were both around 7,000'ish miles.
The thing I love about them is I can ride them both till my heart's content and not worry about mileage, even though one of them is in show room condition.
I have the first three years of the XS series...70, 71, 72 and Im paranoid to ride any of them too much because they're irreplaceable and I looked a long time for them.
So, it really nice to have a couple of riders with no concerns of mileage...so much fun to ride the 650's.
