NICE!

First motor I ever worked on was out of a 1980 CT90, in a bit rougher shape than yours.

There is a huge difference between that motor and what we're used to, the ignition is driven off the cam instead of the crank. You may have already noticed the wire coming from the cam cover; there is a points assembly in there. If you take the cover off, DO NOT LOOSE the dowel pin holding the points rotor to the cam shaft. It's slightly bigger than a grain of rice and loves to disappear at inopportune times.

The other fun tidbit is the high/low secondary gearbox.

Does it still have the spare gas can that strapped to it?

thats what ive seen them going for. it just needs the motor back in along with the wireing loom. the forks need to be cleaned, painted and put back on. then a few more things and its a complete bike. im just busy right now and figured it i can sell it still in some pieces i would. 700 should be good then Id think
