Thinking of Buying 1977 XLCH, any comments?

I now have a Honda Shadow ACE 1100 cc as my first bike. I have been riding about 9 months and have logged appox 12,000 miles. There is a 1977 XLCH electric start that has come to my attention that is a good price. What can any one tell me, pro and con, about this bike?
No, I am not mechanically minded and realise the EVO engine was not developed until 1984. But, I am ready to learn.I also need reliablity on the road since I do ride over 200 mile trips alone. Any comments would be appreciated
