Nice pictures Julie, thanks. I said that it would be 'old hat' to regulars. Question for AshimotoKO, why mot drill the front blade and fix the number plate as they were when I was a boy. I'm still looking for the one I took off my CB250 in 1975, so that I can stick in onto my CB750, when I find the time to finish it. I suspect that my tidy mother threw it away though.
The double-cut front guard is very rare and used ones are ££££ ..even the Yamiya repro is over £1200 landed in the UK.
I have my Classic Motorcycle Mechanics delivered, enjoyed the read, the buyer and his wife (Tracy) had set an initial budget of up to £100K...! well worth the read concerning the other bidders within the auction room.
I would hate to be the author of classic bike magazine articles, they will be pored over by anoraks (you and me ) who will instantly spot the flaws in them.....and very often say so, it's not possible to get everything exactly right when it's a broad subject.There are probably quite a few CB750s running about sporting age related G plates, and rightly so because they will be 1969 sandcast or very early diecast bikes, but none of them will be UK originals.The irony is, if your bike or mine were imported now, they would probably receive G plates from the DVLA simply because they were manufactured in October 1969......not that it matters, but it gives us something to talk about.
Quote from: BigAl on November 23, 2019, 02:18:27 PM.............Who's this guy Paul Jayson from The Motorcycle Broker.... who commented in the magazine on the bike and its affect on the classic bike market?I have spoken to Paul Jayson (or rather - he at me ) on a couple of occasions and given he is a motorcycle broker it's in his own interest to talk up the prices of what he calls 'Investment Grade' classic bikes and where (and who) to get them from, usually stating they will be up to 6 figures in a few years time...... See his view on Sandcasts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA3FFe-lSsw&t=5s - also worth looking at some of his other videos to make your mind up. Cheers, Andrew
