As far as I know it's here in the UK in pieces for last 25 years and don't think the owner will ever sell it. Real shame.

Agreed it's a ridiculous price and it's correct Honda should buy it. They already have a Vic World Sandcast resto in their museum in Japan.

Sorry Steve, I honestly don't actually know who owns it but a member on here does  and he knows the person who owns it and has seen the bike . I gather that the restored  die cast engined, UK road test bike, YLY70H was swapped for it.

Cheers ....AshD

PM'd you Steve please let me know if you get it !!

Attached a pic of the UK CB750K0 press bike, I think after restoration. Take a look at the 'ducktail' on that seat, I have never seen a repro seat look that good. I was told by someone that the early seats had a harder piece of rubber/foam in the 'ducktail' foam. Work of art!!

Cheers  ........ ashD
