UK K0 on Ebay

[AshimotoK0]

Transition model  with linked carbs.  Funny looking airbox with no ribs. Correct recessed ignition ( key wrong .. no plastic plug)  and black kill switch though. Rear lamp not oval as on true UK models though. Tank has K1 style trim with black stripe

Steff is bound to have an input on this one !

I have a git filter that determines whether I'm at all (or would be since I'm not in the market anyway but whatever...) interested. This one: it is 45 years old... invest in...  screams git at me.

IMHO it would need a bomb spending on it to get correct. Superficially looks nice but a few nasties lurking there, that I won't go into to avoid sounding even more anoraky than I am. I am told I am out of touch with pricing but I still maintain that all of the ones on eBay recently are totally overpriced. I still think totally restored K0 = no more than 10K GBP tops and a genuine  UK supplied model  will sell easier. I have yet to talk/contact anybody who has actually paid even that kind of money for one. There are also tons of decent 400/4 cropping up for low money recently around the 3k mark. I reckon my 250/350K twins will be worth more than my own  400/4  , which has all the nice bits new on it like NOS exhaust, NOS mudgards etc. We probably have DS to partly thank for that.

So Ash, when you complete your UK CB750 K0, so it's as good as the day it came off the production line, will you take £10k off me for it?. Shall I send you a deposit now and when can I take delivery? 

Hope your well Ash

That won't include this one then:

Interestingly (or not) the 'Brand new never ridden' Antares Red one that was up for sale earlier this year was priced at just shy of £12K, which makes this one £1/mile cheaper.

Probably never sell it in my lifetime Julie but If it was finished now and I had to sell it and only got 10k for it, I wouldn't be disappointed. Probably 'cos the parts were much cheaper 6 years ago, like the pipes were 500 quid etc.etc.then instead of the 2.5k GBP someone is asking on eBay for a new Honda set.

For some reason people squirreled away 400/4's almost new in the 70's and there are some almost brand spanking new looking  ones around, with next to no miles. Not surprised that they command getting on for 10k if anyone is daft enough to pay that. Bob Heath of visor fame owns an Ex-Honda UK CB750K0 with about 500 miles on the clock.. that bike would be worth a lot more than 10k as it's exceptionally original, as is the 1st UK one and the press one YLY70H or Dick Emery's if its still around. Suppose mine is the 14th UK one so people may pay silly money but it had had a hard life before I got hold of  it, so to me its a sub-10k worth bike.

  aye ash id say its not a k0 (the transitional model) and like you say the wrong carbs and pipes, have you seen the state on the header pipes the mixtures are way out .for that to be worth 7k it needs all the 300 part numbers fitted.
just came back from a ride tonite. cracking weather grommit

Well, I know of one member that has just sold his USA, CB750K0 for £13,300 this week and I sold a fully restored one two years ago 4 grand more. I think a lot of members are a little out of touch on the prices that UK make
