Yea keep 'em coming Julie :)

EYA 98J on DVLA but last taxed in '85 .. Is the other one TBO 701H ? (Graeme Garden look-alike rider  :D).. not quite sure ...  but if it is it's not on DVLA register.

This one is of Marc Bolan's 1st wife on a UK CB750 owned by King Crimsons recorded label owner.

Interesting to see EYA 98J wearing US-style higher bars...

Thought all CB750 UK '1st model diecast ' UK CB750's' had the higher bars J or are those even higher than normal?

You’re right ash - I wasn’t thinking straight. However, VRJ 460J has the lower UK bars - but this could be an owner made change I suspect (it’s also one of the transition bikes I think)..

The bikes were 6 years old in the picture. The guy with the H reg has drop bars so, maybe he gave his mate with the J reg his bars  ;)

The bars look pretty similar to the ones on my Irish registered CB750 (Interim model), here it is in 1971 with my mate Nigs on board.
