Post by: Charlie J on August 10, 2020, 09:23:27 PM: It was me that asked about the build date. As far as I know, it is a UK bike, so does that mean it’s a K1? From what I understand, the clock size can help identify the bike. The clock face diameter is 4 inches if that helps.
Thanks

The clocks could have been changed at anytime over the past 40+ years. It will tell you on the log book if its a 1st registered UK bike, or an import registered at a later date in the UK.

Would if I could. There’s no number plate on the bike. Let’s hope the log book turns up.

Blimey this is a real mystery bike. You will probably find its an import from Uzbekistan, stolen and recovered in Bolivia, ridden to the UK by Dick Turpin with 46 owners of whom the last was Lord Lucan 🤣🤣🤣🤣
