They are not Contis. Bin them. I agree with Bill, the tank looks like it's from a 750GT. I also agree with Bill that the cost of restoration (using new old stock or aftermarket replica parts) can be very expensive, and yours is missing some expensive bits. It can be done, but you would have to love the bike to spend that much. It looks like an 860GT-based bitsa. That model does not have the cachet of any of the 750s or the SS models. However, if you do decide to restore it, they can clean up very well. There was a good article in Classic Bike a while back on a restoration of an 860GT in Australia. I can try to dig out the issue if you're interested.
