Gerald Kane from Classic Bike is looking for a standard CB500 or CB550 (preferably 4 piper but an F would be OK too...) for a photo shoot and road test early next week.

They are in Peterborough and are picking up a GT500 for the feature from Hastings - so south of Watford Gap if possible.

They collect the bike in a van, are fully insured, will photograph it and ride it a bit and it will be in the magazine!

Unfortunately I only have one 500 left and it doesn't run, so now's your chance!

Post here, PM me or call me on 07802-307696 and I'll put you in touch.



Oh, and make sure it runs properly as it has to beat a GT500...

Hi Steve - probably to far away (Cornwall) but I've got a 1975 UK K1 in original spec. which they are welcome to use.

MOT'd / taxed and out and about most dry days. Was originally supplied by Ryes of Fulham and has 7 previous owners who are all listed in a History File with quite a few anecdotes from most of them.

Is already a magazine star being feature bike in CMM Sept. 2011 Mira Files article entitled 'Magic Carpet Ride' where John Nutting recaptures his youth ! If they are interested let me know or let them have my contact details (07920 262103).
