I used to have a 77 75/5.
Loved that bike. Wish I could find another for a reasonable price.
No.

Almost bought an R65 instead of the new CB750. Almost. A friend has a 76 R90/6 that's one hell of a bike. Reliable as all hell. Pretty, too.

This is really embarrassing, but wouldn't '77 be a /6 or /7?

At least a /7 I'd say.  My '75 R75 is a /6.

I have a chance to pick up a 77 100/RS. I really like the look of the Airheads.
Not sure if worth it but pipes and carbs off for a couple years. small ding in tank from fairing. I can pick it up for 800 would that be a good buy?

Soooo, I don't think it's embarrassing at all.  Ask or you won't know.... also,  people tell me often that my 71 R90 doesn't exist.  It does.  With original engine. But an abnormal story.

At least a /7 I'd say.  My '75 R75 is a /6.

This thread was from 18 years ago. ;) Uncle Ernie passed away in 2011, droopy hasn't been active on the forums since 2013, and Tim hasn't been active since 2019.
BTW, welcome to the forums! ;D
