This looks right to me. I thought of replacing the R75.

"Original and NOT restored."  This is followed by a list of new parts that have been installed.

Unrestored means it wa not pulled out of a swamp and redone, a bike as nice as this one could potentially be worth more than a restored bike done by an unknown person/shop.

I'm guessing $8K.  If that paint is really original (doubt it), it's spectacular.  Grips ARE original.

The seller is on the MGNOC Facebook page and I have every reason to believe it is original paint.

Yes, Motospotter has credibility out there. I believe he knows original paint when he sees it. Tempting.

Damn.

It's like seeing your first girlfriend on a dating website thirty years after she broke up with you, and she still looks as good as she did then.
