Thought I'd pass this on. Today in the 'top ads" on Kijiji in Ontario, Canada for Sudbury there is a 78 Standard in great shape with 8,000 kms for $2200. I don't know how to forward the link like all the other guys do. But I appriciate everyone else doing it on here for a look see. This looks like a real nice bike. He states he had it for 3 yrs - too bad he never joined the forum. Maybe someone can check out the above & paste the link to it, as I am not computor savy. Thx -Dan

If thats the original paint then thats not a '78 but an 1980 G.

Except for the 78-79 Seat and 78-79 side covers and decals. So, I doubt it's original paint as I don't think that color could be had back then, but the seat, side covers and decals all say 78 or 79.Cy

It has the kick start shaft so it has to be a 78 or 79. Just a guess but, it looks like it the tank was swapped out with a later one and the side covers painted to match.

'78 came in a wide range of colors...as long as it was "Macho Maroon"...

Probably PO disorder. He's not the first owner and is passing on what he was told...Originally posted by xsroadrunner View Post
