Should I fix my 1975 Honda CB400F?

I have a 1975 Honda CB400F that hasn't run in about 20 years. It is not operable to almost any extent right now, so is it worth the time and money to fix it up, or should I just get a new bike?
 
It was a wonderful little bike in its day. I had a CB350F and I had more fun on that bike. I could start it with my hand on the kickstarter.

But if it's been sitting for 20 years, it's probably not worth fixing just to have a bike to ride. You would spend more on it than it's really worth. A restoration project like that is for a collector. If you just want a motorcycle, you'd be better off buying something newer and running.

I would get a newer bike and consider if the old CB is worth fixing up. If it is in very good shape I would restore it and enjoy it. It is a cool bike from back in the day and restored it would be very popular at motorcycle events or the weekend downtown cruise night.
