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.
