Very nice but stupid money. I bet someone will buy it though when you consider how much the sandcast cb750 went for in the recent auction. Whilst the 750 had undoubted history and is unique it does make £15k sound like a bargain!

[Nurse Julie]

The CB750 that sold at auction was a prototype and only 4 were ever built. £15.995 for this bike is ridiculous, nice mileage if genuine but there are soooooo many 'low mileage' USA examples in the UK now at more reasonable and realistic prices, why pay that much for this one. It's not even a K0 its a K2.

They must of had a show and it won first prize then, guess the new owner will get the 1st place rosettes as well.

Tools....classic fever alert.

Really have to wonder how long it will be before usable classics, which is what I look at these 70s Hondas as, become unusable trailer toys trucked from show to show.

Sad really.

The old Brit bikes have gone that way, and it's not a good thing. My dad gets many to rebuild and renovate, and all too often the 'fully restored' things are unfit to run, with polished externals and rotten mechanicals mixed with poor quality repro parts.

I want to be able to ride my bike every day if the mood takes me...but when prices go silly, so does the insurance....and the risk of theft.

More details here .. never knew K2 still came in my favourite colour Candy Jet Green?

relax and keep doing what you already do..... plenty of jap classics are already trailered to shows... and plenty of brit bikes are ridden in all weather, see the VMC for your local group and tag along.. In another decade or so the whole classic scene may virtually disappear anyway, when did you last go to a show or rally that wasn't 95% grey, bald old men... we cant go on forever :-)
