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?
