The 1000 was the touring bike in the early 80s but by the mid-late 80s , the 610 got those things that were missing (cantis, lowrider attachements on the fork, bottle cage attachments.) Nice quality bike. But need info on the year to tell more (as well as pictures). Fine for a day trip, but (unlike the later days' 610) not for a fully loaded tour.
