One of the best bikes I have ever owned

I bought mine 2 years ago from the original owner. It only had 7500 miles on it at the time. I have 13K miles on it now. The bike is fast and comfortable. Plenty of power and pick up. If it had a 6th gear it would be perfect. It was geared for cruising at 55 mph back in the U.S. fuel conserving days. A 55 mph the bike would easily do 40-45 mpg. I cruise at 75-80 and get around 30-32 mpg.
I like the styling too. I have the full Windjammer and Vetter bags on the bike. It looks just as upto date now as it back in 1982.
