The first two are Fronteras which were registerable in Australia so yes they would have had taillights when new, but both bikes appear non-standard in the mudguards and taillight department.
The trials bike appears to be made up from components that are not all of the same model.

Thanks feetupfun

The Goldie is up to $3050-so a good price for a 78 model I believe. 
What are your thoughts feetupfun ?

Be warned, that "Gold Medal" isn't what it appears. The combination of upright shocks and a high pipe was never produced. Lay down shocks and a high pipe yes, and vice versa yes. Sorry I could only find a pic of low pipe Gold Medal Frontera but have attached a pic of a normal high pipe Frontera instead.

I'm not saying it isn't a Gold Medal just that something is a bit fishy.

Yeah, I'm no Bully expert but it looked very non-original to me; Yammy front guard,Preston Petty rear, side covers. But still got $3050 . Nice bike, nice paint, but not original which should affect the value but doesn't seem to have .

Thanks all for the info- interesting reading.
Another question  , When/What year did they put the pipe up higher on the bike??? Thanks.
See why I leave the buying up to the better half   
cheers Alison

I thought that the only Frontera that came new with the up pipe was the the last one imported here (Mk11) which I think was sold in 1978. Very nice bike they were too. I shared riding one (a 370) in a 6 hour Pony Express in Northern NSW when it was new and found it had a very forgiving motor, great handling and was quiet. It had S&W Pro Stroker shocks but was otherwise standard. Thanks again to owner Russell Duncan for sharing such a nice bike.
