Do these sprockets need replaed?

As the subject says, do these sprockets need replaced?

Thats both the front and rear ones. They look fine to me and don't feel like they've been warn too bad, but this is also the first time I've ever replaced a chain/set of sprockets too. The bike has a tad over 11k stock miles and I'm just getting around to replacing the chain for the first time, if that helps.

If you do think both/either needs replaced, anyone have an recommendations for new ones and where to get them? I think I'm going to stick with stock gearing.

Oh, and if you can't tell by the pictures (I don't know what you'd be looking for to see if they need replaced), I can take more.

Thanks a bunch guys.

Ditto. Worth the extra cost. I just replaced both sprockets that looked OK, but was replacing the chain so I replaced them all.

The front sprocket is significantly worn, not to mention ugly.  I wouldn't run a new chain on it.  The rear is in better shape.  You could get by with it if you want to cheap out.  It wouldn't hurt to clean it off.  If you are going to ride the bike a lot, it might be best to replace the rear sprocket.  If you ride it only a couple thousand miles a year, it'll last a good while.

So, taking alll your advice I'm going to get a new set of stock sprokets, but I can only find the front one for my '78 CB750F2 at the Old Bike Barn. I can't find the rear one there or at any of the other part sites I keep in my bookmark list. Any idea where I can get that rear one online? Thanks.
