I just picked up a 1978 Mark V in the same color but in well patina'd state . I plan to make a rider out of it until I can get it repainted. Yours is beautiful and what's nice is that it is not too nice to ride. Probably as nice as can be found for a bike that can be ridden. I have an original Competition GS in that state that I have been riding off and on for over five years. I hope you enjoy at least a nice Sunday ride on it before hanging it up! Be careful, you may love it and start riding it a bit more! You have so many that I guess it would be tough to ride em all but , oh what fun trying. I showed my wife so she would not think of me as obsessive. Joe
