This bike is as classic 70's cool as it gets. Two stroke, all original, under 7k miles. Runs and drives perfect, tons of general maintenance done by previous owner a few years ago, new tires, battery, tune up last fall. All lights function properly, the brakes are as good as it gets for front & rear drum, and it will consistently start first or second kick. No issues with the transmission, engine runs strong, and the frame is in exceptional shape. The seat has expected wear for a 40+ year old motorcycle, also has minor surface rust on the spokes, forks, pipes, and other places with chrome. I think it has a really cool patina and haven't had anything re-chromed. The motorcycle does not have mirrors and has some paint fading on the top of the gas tank. The fuel petcock works but sometimes gets stuck so will probably need to be replaced (unless you don't mind wiggling it a few times). Bike is currently registered in CT so transfer won't be an issue
