Sure looks like a rare UK K0 to me and old MOT's confirm it. £10k bike when fully restored IMHO. 1st UK Reg 04/72

Graham saw this bike and deduced it's a grey import. It's got the EU idiot light panel on it. This is a proper UK 500 K0 idiot light panel off of the UK model Graham is restoring at present. Neutral instead of Neut. It's still a very good bike for someone though.

Is it possible the panel was replaced at some time in its life…just saying? Can Graham spot any other oddities.

Absolutely anything is possible Phil, especially over 50 years.  I don't know about if Graham can spot anything else, I will ask him.

M/cyl off a totally different model. Weren't most UK K0's grey imports?

 I prefer to see them all as being on  journey from Japan to their final resting place. I have temporal problem with the export/ import exclusivity stance.

Heading to my bunker now…incoming.

I tend to agree. Maybe a small premium 10%, but that's it.
Thought all K0s had Flash Oil Neut Beam same as US. Frame number is very early, maybe April, May 71, so it had been around a bit when UK registered.
Wrong mirrors.

That's only a handful of numbers different on the vin as a uk k0 I had ...
Very close
