Hi Menno, sorry for the late answer, this tank comes from a CB250G made for French army during the 70's, more than 2500 bikes sold ! They had a CB750 tank for better autonomy.

Many thanks Ash for these information  I'll contact Roger Etcell as he seems to be the right man for that purpose ! Steve's website is sometimes out of order but run well today ... I tried to contact by email but no answer at the moment.

So I understand that Honda bikes were first imported at the beginning of 1960 by Maico Ltd in London, who was the importer in UK for German Maico bikes and scooters. They founded a new company named Hondis Ltd in that aim. They loose this agreement at the end of 1962 to the profit of European Honda Motor Trading Gmbh who opened an office and spare parts stock 2, Manorgate Road, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. Do you know why Hondis Ltd informed their agents of this fact by a letter in which they speak of Honda motorcycles over 100cc, is that means that they kept the sale of Honda bikes under 100 cc ? All information about that welcome !

Hello all, I am studying Honda business establishment in Europe and found that they began in Germany, Belgium and France between 1959 and 1963. It seems that they also opened a commercial office in England , a subsidiary of European Honda Motor Trading Gmbh in Hamburg (Germany), established 2, Manorgate Road, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. Do you have information about this first Honda office in England ? I think it was in 1961 or 1962 but not sure ? It seems also that they opened a subsidiary in Netherlands, probably at the same period, Honda Motor NV located Zenostraat 186, Rotterdam. Any information ? Thanks in advance for your help

I think you have a correct engine (but not the original one) for a K1 sold after end of 1973 ! 500 Four K2 with engine number beginning by 2 1xx xxx were sold in USA from october 1973 but imported in France (and maybe the same in UK ?) only from december 1975. All the K1 made after end of 1973 were fitted with K2 engine. That's the case for my K1 sold in August 1974 : frame 2 058 XXX - engine 2 146 XXX Anf for another K1 sold in June 1975 : frame 2 074 XXX - engine 2 163 XXX So your K1 has probably been made in April or May 1975 for the frame and May or June 1974 for the engine.

Thanks bitsa for your welcome ! The other french you are speaking about is probably kiss93 I think ? He is a friend, he gave me your forum address. How long are you living in France ? Not a long time as you don't speak a fluent french as you say And thanks for your text in french, absolutely funny, a Google translation ? It's more easier for me to read you in english than in "GoogleFrench"

Thanks for your messages ! @ rozabikes : your french is excellent, congratulations ! @ UK pete : the 750 K1 will be my next restoration, it has 65 000 km and several oil leaks, and noises from the cam and primary chains, as usual on these bikes. I found too some black rubber pieces in the oil, so the cam chain tensioner or/and the primary chain rubbers are probably out of order ...  I have to change all these parts by new one.
