I think I am leaning toward the 750 as well. Any thing I need to know about the 78? The newest I have had was a 76.

The motor is basically the same, carbs are different. The stock exhaust were prone to rust, but yours looks like it has a cool aftermarket. The K7 & 8 arent as collectable but still great bikes, parts are plentiful.  Get it.
