I am just old enough to remember when two strokes were just starting to fall out of favor (street bikes) in the 70s. I felt the same, the smokey zing zing, ding ding on overrun seemed so crude compared to the smooth, quiet Japanese 4s coming out.
Now I would love to try an R5, Yamaha RD, Suzuki GT or Kawasaki triple. Nice Find! —have fun and give us updates.

Thanks! She needs a little work. A new head gasket and carb rebuild then she should be good to go.
