The R75/5 would be a better
But the R75/5 and later series were probably the best in terms of performance, smoothness, and overall usefulness. Certainly the R90 has more power, but the 750 series was a nice bike.

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.
Thanks for the input, that is
Thanks again,

Both the R75 and R90s will
I've owned a R75/5 and still own my '74 R90s. As far as riding, the R75 has a ton of old world character, a torquey, smooth motor and attracts a crowd.
The R90s IMHO, can be ridden just about anywhere as the small fairing takes the blast off your upper body for longer trips.
It's faster too. A LOT faster.

Bags
I would like to call on the collective wisdom of the list...
I have just bought a 1973 R75/5 and it came with a set of bags that I believe may be made by a company called Fiber Mold. Does anyone else have bags like this? If you do, can you send me a photo of the bag mounting system they should have?
The mounts that I have look very home made and I am not certain that they would have been supplied like this from the factory.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Andy

Are there any labels on the inside that suggest the manufacturer?
