One for Ash
« on: May 28, 2019, 02:32:13 PM »
This month's CBG dropped through the letterbox this morning and contains a feature on the CB250K. There's also a full page letter feature from Tony Eldridge previously of the Honda Owners Club about the first days of the CB750/4, an interesting read.

Yea will have to get a copy of that... cheers for the heads up.

Looks like the wrong handlebars for a UK model 250K2 though.

Is the article on the 750 taken from this below?

I actually own a K1 Steph but its a 350  ;) Never sold here ...  basically a K0 with an extra pin stripe on the tank and pleated seat plus the cute '69 only 'front fender reflector'  K1 model is not recognised in any parts books.
