I bought this bike a few years ago when I turned 50. I never regretted it. I call it my mid-life crisis bike. I've seen all sorts of mid-life crisis decisions. Take it from me, buying a motorcycle is one of the good ones. The bike runs well. I have had it serviced regularly. Both Bing carbs have been rebuilt since I bought the bike. It has a new battery, new plugs, new gas hoses and almost new tires. The left exhaust belches smoke for a few seconds when the bike is started after sitting for awhile. I don't know why. Cosmetically, the tank has a small dent and the handlebars are pretty corroded. I included pics of both issues. I do not know the true mileage. Odometer says 18,806. That sounds low for a 1976 bike. I don't know enough about the bike's history to even hazard a guess if that is accurate. I am selling the bike because I find myself riding less and my son and I are saving up money for a trip.
