Ash.

Thank you for those brochure images.  Wow how having such material is so useful. Just shows how time can distort some memories.  My second CB250 was a K2, which I had to do some restoring.  It had the Blue /White tank.  I can't remember the colour of the K0, because it had a Read Titan fairing which I rattle can painted an awful yellow and brown scheme.  I do have pictures of that, but not when I first got it.  Third CB250 was a K3...burgundy I think.  All such a long time ago....sigh!

Cheers,
Jerry

If it was Burgundy it would have been 'Gentle Maroon Metallic' and a K4 model. The K3 was only sold here in UK in Candy Gold. A lot of subtle changes on the K4 ..like a top yoke with pinch bolt clamps ..that break. Plus the K4 was the first model to be sold here as a 350 model. 350 was only sold here in green.

Ash,

Oh dear we have drifted off the thread haven't we.

I don't suppose any one will be interested in my faulty memory.  I did have four CB250s, but maybe only the K3 for a very short while.  I vaguely remember a gold one.

Thank you for the refresh.

Cheers,
Jerry

A little drifting is good for conversations.

I kinda like the CB175, a mate of mine had one and a lot of the others had the CD175. I went to buy a brand new one in gold but when I got to the shop I found the HP wasn't affordable so I ended up buying my very first new bike, a CB125J I believe, YJA 8L.

I always liked the CB250K4 myself, one of the few smaller bikes I'd consider buying now TBH, I almost bought one when I was working for Queenies, one was part exed and the reg was Ken ---P which was my name and the initial of my surname. It was £150, which at the time was about a week and a halves wage so I ended up not buying it.

Another mate of mine later traded in his CD175 for a CB350K4 and yes it was olive green.
