I'm shopping for my first bike, and I found a 1971 R5 for sale locally. It looks in very good shape, with one small gas tank dent, and possibly a new battery required. All original otherwise, orange/white paint job. Seller wants $2500. A few questions. 1. Any ideas on the market values for these R5's? I'm new to Yamaha vintage (looking mostly at Honda's previously). 2. Where can I find more info on these R5's? There seems to be hardly anything in these vintage forums. I can't find much else googling either. Is there decent parts availability? Thanks for any opinions! Jason
