AnnapolisAirhead

Nice bike if someone looking for a /6, not perfect, but might go cheap:

And there is a 1977 R100RS MotorSport (white and orange) on Craigslist Portland
for a pretty good price too.
It saddens me to see this economy make people part with their stuff.
Now I'm hooked on airheads. There's something re-assuring in being able to fix or know you can fix your ride, in the age of computerized, choked up transports of today.
C'mon Bob, It's just stuff. If I HAD to sell a bike for 3 months rent and a sack of potatoes, I'd do it and be glad that I was able to. In fact, I did this very sort of thing back in the early 80's.And there is a 1977 R100RS MotorSport (white and orange) on Craigslist Portland

Tony, go all the way and pull the trigger on a /5 or /6. Start at the basis of simplicity. For me, learning on the simplest of airheads gives me insight into the functionality of all the airheads to follow. Knowing how to fix your ride starts with the basics.

The Motorsports were 1978's
I'd love to find a last edition R100RS, I appreciate the limit production numbers of the MotoSports, but can't warm up to the orange face and the blue seat. Each to their own, eh?
Arguably. The Motorsport was a purely cosmetic package. Otherwise a standard R100RS.Ah, noted on the Mototsport. Damnedest shade of "red" I've ever seen, not unlike the 'red' (#fa8c00) on your webpage (nice site, btw).
Tanks, carbs and wheels are interchangeable too...I guess none of it matters unless you want to preserve a bike to its originality. So swapping the seat out, like the fairing, tank, handlebars, etc. would it still be a Motorsport?
Actually, one of 150 ... or 350, depending on how you look at it. Mine is one of the 150 that went to the UK, so it's somewhat rarer than the US model. Has a kick starter, metric speedo/odo, and switchable lights (including 'OFF'). VIN is 608xxxx instead of US' 618xxxx.Each to their own I suppose, but if I had one of 200 made, I'd keep it completely original, all the time. That way, whenever it is seen, anywhere, it is one of the 200 classics and rare. Having one or say 10,000 or so, originality is less important to me anyway.
