A beauty! I had a blue '72 R75/5 with a 'Toaster' tank (4.8 gal.). I like the 5.8 gal. tank on this one. Converted to electronic ignition? The Brembo is a nice touch, except the caliper is mounted in front of the fork. - Better handling if it's mounted Behind the fork, as some Japanese bikes learned in the '70's.
What a great handling reliable bike for its day. Had to grab a big hand full of front brake on the old drums once and they faded. Shat bricks but managed to pull up. That was the only downside of a magnificent relationship with my first road bike. Still got the old girl ❤
