I am going to try my hand at a 69 A7. This is the electronic model.

Looks pretty clean and unmolested for a starting point.

yes its relatively clean. It needs a lot of scrubbing to see what is actually rusted, etc.

but for $1300 bucks I thought I'd give it a try. inside the tank has no rust. It has the smoothest clutch I've ever felt

The A7's were quickly overshadowed by the Fabulous H1, but I remember at the time, if you had a Triumph Bonneville, or a BSA Spitfire, for example, you never looked down your nose at an A7.... or a 250 Samurai, for that matter! (fun times!). I had a Suzuki 500 Cobra, and kept a wary eye out for the Kawasaki 350 twins!

Always liked the look of these bikes.
Is the wheel base considerably shorter than an H series?
