Stock #: 222007
VIN: 2975993
Color: Black
The Good:
• Has bakelite key
• Engine starts and runs.
• Clutch functions
• Transmission shifts through all gears
• Brakes front and rear activate and release.
• Turn signals are in remarkable condition.
• Suspension both front and rear function w/no leaks
• Steering head bearings are smooth.
• Steering damper functions
• Kick starter, electric starter both function
• Wheels bearings are smooth.
• Swing arm bearings are smooth, no play.
• Air filter in place
The Bad:
• Tank can be used with clean out and filters.
• Melted electrical harness in headlight bucket. Will need a new harness and some electrical components. Lights, signals, etc. could not be tested or verified.
• Metzler’s have mild weather checking and the front tire is flat.
• Missing speedometer lens
• Some gauge face issues.
• Seat hinges are missing.
• Side stand is bent.
• Center stand needs new bolt and some thread repair.
Brief Overview:
Oil level is full, and the engine runs quietly. This is a very good candidate for restoration, or an easy ride as is bike. The front and rear fenders may be sporting original paint with some minor touch-up. The tank is probably a second coat. The seat appears to be original and while it is a bit worn and stiff looks just right as is. Nice gaiters, no rust on the rear shocks, a smooth tank with no dents, and both stainless steel wheel hub covers are in place. Most parts are present and in very nice shape. Of course, a new wiring harness and some electrical bits are in order (unless they buy the Blue R75 as a parts bike), followed by the standard thorough inspection including all repairs and adjustments being made prior to riding.
