It sold for $1,250, which was a good deal I think. My wife rode one for a few years. Six speed transmission. Very quiet engine and smooth riding. Lots of power to cruise at 75 or more. I didn't like the TK carbs, and would put some Mikunis on it if we still had it. I rebuilt it and had no problem finding parts on ebay. She sold it. I would have kept it for myself but it was too small for my 6 ft 2 in frame. So I reluctantly watched it drive away. I see that one has a smog valve cover. My wife's bike didn't have that feature, and it was an 81, so not sure why.
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.
