This was originally an R60/6. The engine badge of that is still on it. It was converted to an R75 by changing heads,upgrading carbs, adding a choke, removing the kick start. The cam was not changed so it has really good low end tork. Smooth rider. Good power. This bike has a 1979 transmission with the updated shift kit installed. Has not been ridden in about two years, but has been garaged. Was started a couple of weeks ago by jump starting as the battery has not been on a charger. Has a luftmeister fairing on it. Tank has the rubber side panels in perfect condition. Paint is acceptable. If you know these old Airheads you will know that sitting still for a time, it will need all fluids changed, possibly carb diaphragms, a good tune up-valves set and carbs balanced. May need some seals changed that could have dried out during inactive period. I would recommend a new battery. There were no issues with this bike when I stopped riding it. I simply brought home an R100 that was Dad's after he passed away, and prefer riding it. She's a little dusty in the pictures. Moving and have had no time to clena her up proper. Sale will be as-is. The title is from the previous owner. The bill of sale to me is available as are several years of Alabama registrations in my name. Alabama does not require a title on motorcycles this old so they did not have a title made in my name. But there should be enough paperwork available to prove what you need for any state. In person pick up/sale only - I will not ship
