First check our AirBazaar menu.
Second check the IBMWR listings. http://www.ibmwr.org/
Lastly get the national CraigsList search at.... http://www.searchcraigslist.org/

Good luck. They are in short supply.

Price guesstimate in aisle 5: depending on originality, condition, paperwork, etc......anywhere between $2,000 for a clapped out turd to $20,000 for a low mileage or restored perfect example.

Why do you want a '77? Spoked wheels?

I'd say that's about the going price for one in the condition you're describing. Go for it !!

• IMHO, IF there is going to be damage or noticeable wear, one of the first places it appears is either/both sides of the fairing where the tubular steel under-tank cross-brace attaches. In extreme cases (showing on 50% of the examples these days) that area of the upper and lower fairing will break off, or break out at the 6mm bolt hole.

• And, as with all under-tank brake master cylinder models.... the fuel tank should be removed to inspect for brake fluid damage. Of course there will be some... you just want to know "how much".

• One of the most likely changes is going to be to the handlebars. The owner has most probably added bar "set-backs" or "risers". That's OK... just make sure you get the stock bars (BMW price $149 !) and stock center cushion. And be aware that out of the thousands of handlebars on the market, there are probably only 2 or 3 that will work on this bike.... making middle-aged riding comfort an elusive challenge.

@Antny That's a sharp looking RS. Is that Havana Gold? Do you know what years was it offered and on which models?
