Spud is right, the 70s models were all naked. 75 and 76 had spoke wheels with tubes and were slightly faster than later 1000cc models. They were originally a muscle bike with the only faster production bike at the time being the Kawasaki 900.

Like many old bikes that have been setting for years, gas tank rust can be a problem and you pretty much have to disassemble the bike to get the tank out. Also the removable frame member on the left side under the engine tends to rust out over time because water can get in there.

I had a 79, fully dressed by Vetter. Took a lot of long trips on that old bike.
