Nice to see them together.
« on: April 30, 2023, 06:41:53 PM »
Had both UK model 750 K2's side by side briefly yesterday.
The 73 model red one was back for it's 500 mile 1st service and the 72 gold one was waiting to be collected by her new owner.

Also had a visit from a friend and his wife on his UK 750 K0 later in the day, which was lovely to see

Yeh, when I grow up I want one of them!

Lovely those are Julie.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

No Ken. Red one arrived in a van so had mirrors taken off for transport and Gold one was collected in a van, so taken off ready for loading.

Ahh, that would explain it, I doubt I'd be comfortable riding a bike with no mirrors, I like to keep an eye out behind me for Police and nutters mainly.

Beautiful bikes, absolute credit to the work you've put into them.

Lucky owners, must be very pleased. I always feel they are, the 750, the most pivotal in bike design. Many argue, but these did completely shift attitude and made literally everyone think differently. Not often do you get a product that truly does that.

I would argue that the 750 looks like the wife after she's turned fat and dumpy and the 500 is the wife you married, slim and sexy  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
