Very pretty. Over priced.

Yea I think so.
The original 73 had higher handle bars and chrome fenders.
The swoops on the tank paint job are in the wrong place...doesn't look right in my opinion.
Gee, I have a 73, maybe I'll paint it and try and get that much!!

I don't think the standard 73 models had valanced Alloy rims
They certainly had chrome fenders & higher bars, still a nice looking resto, but approx $4K overpriced

HEY!!!! I had one of those, sold it 4 yrs ago for AU$4500. It was mint, as well. She started first kick, every time. Wish I still had it, it was such fun to ride, and what a note....

That wasn't a jab at the bike just realistic pricing. $3,000 to $4500 is about what they go for most for the $3,000 or less although I have been seeing an upward trend in the last couple years.
