Oh yeah, it's an 80.

$200 Got it from the original owner with 12k miles. New topend with less than 50 miles, but the bike was sitting for 12 years in a garage. Tank had previously been coated. Emptied the tank, changed the oil and cleaned the carb and it started right up with a new battery. Need a carb sync and...
