Honda CM400E or Shadow Spirit

OK this is my story...Have never rode a motorcycle before. Am taking the MSF coarse the end of August. Currently have my temps.
I was looking at a 1980 Honda CM400E that someone I know is selling for a friend, but not sure if I should spend the extra money and get the Honda Shadow 750 Spirit that I have been dreaming of.
The CM400 requires nothing and is in good shape.
On one hand I know I should get the CM400 but the Shadow is such a cool bike.
Or should I buy the CM400 and put some money towards some gear. Ride it for a year then invest in the Shadow.
I am sure it will be a blast either way.
My riding will be mostly in town but can see an occasional highway ride.
Thanks for any suggestions.

if i was u i would get the CM400 for now till i get use to rideing then when i feel like i want more power and can handle a bigger bike i'll sale the cm400 and get the 750
i started on a dirt bike suzuki 250 moved up to a kawasaki zx750 but that's just me .i wanted more power and speed.

I think I made a desicion. Buy the CM400 learn to ride then either convert to a Cafe Racer or sell and by another bike. This way I will not go cheap on safety gear. I am taking the MSF coarse in 2 weeks and am super pumped, can't wait.
