Hi from Essex

[Trigger]

I have a UK CB750 K2 1972, Candy custom gold that will be coming up for sale in the spring but, you need a bit more than 7K 

[Martin6]

I think you may be a bit more adventurous than me 

I've been looking on ebay and the other usual sites. I'm wary of the fresh US imports. Not sure what I might get myself into and whether it might be beyond me. I don't fancy non-runners and no wiring loom... 

Not looking for pristine, but some comfort it runs well, without having to first take the engine out of the frame, at this stage. £6-£7k would be my area. Do you think I'm unlikely to find a decent bike in that price range?

[Trigger]

There are so many seller throwing bikes together and looking for top money.

Look at this very over priced one with 550 aftermarket clocks. Just because it says Sliver someone will find themselves with a bike that needs a ton of parts >>> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204230679128?hash=item2f8d18da58:g:H2cAAOSw-KFj2kxR&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAkAf0BwbVPQMifaJX4b2NgDuOOwRMkHSrH88uH9Qc13GrrPRwYkSfu%2FUpK2I4zbdxgRJi8lN%2FAqWR78awwTsy1O00zAL%2B5hFlTF3I1tn0tmuXwsVNIdMCXgtt7iyetnbhfwhSAF51VyfUXyLmEMvpMkAkvHkIKSe46B0HpGaPwOYos2wqu6rWXewv2Op5Jx%2FQmw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4bQq5jGYQ

Has anyone dealt with them or able to recommend them?

Non are UK bikes 
They state UK registered. The only one that is UK is the K6 with the wrong back end.
The frog is known in the business as not a reputable dealer as, some time ago he sold a sandcast with the Vin number changed on the frame 

The one at Marvel motorcycles has been for sale about 3 years now. Also a USA Import that someone has tried to make it look like a UK bike.

To get a good CB750, you have to know the pros and cons, looking past the the bling

1st photo is my UK model K2, I sold it a few weeks ago. It will give you an idea of what a UK model should look like.

2nd photo is our UK model K6, once again, it'll give you an idea. The black 550 Mongrel behind is another one of my bikes.

Lovely bikes.

Julie, I thought your K2 was planet blue! As you know, mine is planet blue but prefer the ruby red - I have a spare newly painted red tank/side panels but its the later tank and not sure about doing V5 colour change and then deciding the revert to the planet blue later (and all the colour changes recorded on the v5)

Well remembered Phil. I was going to have it painted Planet Blue but changed my mind on this one at the last minute and went for Candy Ruby Red 😊😊😊😊

There is no doubt these are lovely bikes. I would be very happy with being the custodian of any one of these bikes, especially knowing where they came from. I’ve never really been a fan of heavily modified bikes purely because I lack imagination for them, but I do like that mongrel. (not heavily modified of course) 😜😜
