I've never seen one of those before, the CD175 and 185 yes, but not a 250.  Were they an official UK model?
Now where did I put that 10mm socket?

Yes, made only for UK, Australia and the Philippines market. Only came in blue in UK but available in silver for the other markets. They are Graham's all time favorite bike ever, we have 3 of them and sold 1 last year.

Great bikes no one appreciated them at the time and many were killed in the hands of Dispatch riders.
I knew I made a mistake selling mine the second the new owner sat on it and rode off.

Very nice bikes especially the Ash 1968 picture. I can't remember them from the day but apparently they were a Japanese only model.

The CD model was JDM only and had painted mudguards and a TYPE 2 engine (360 degree crank) plus CB72 style silencers. I am converting one of my 1969K0's to a JDM CB250 Super Sport model. I got the parts book from Japan and I have every parts that was specific to the JDM model. The pictured one is in the Honda Museum in Japan and the super cool advert is from 1968. The speedo  and tachometer are combined just like the CB72 & Bomber. I just bought one NOS in Japan via my good buddy Chris Jeavons there (he's a 'Brummie' with a Japanese wife). Bit of a labour of love this project. The paintwork is like the one in the museum ... black metallic (dark grey really). The UK CD175A sloper was available in the exact same colour)

Ash, that black and chrome style of bike is the best ever for me. I have a lovely CB77 and recently sold a long term Bomber.
