Great bike otherwise however, but just take a little extra care and don't push the bike too far.

Thanks.
It's a '76 though. I did notice a few more parts scraping when I took it on the first 'spirited' ride. Mostly the center stand...
I admit it took some time to get used to, but we really dig it. Much different than the r1100s.
