Title: Value of an unrestored K0
Post by: JamesH on April 15, 2021, 11:41:28 PM

A good friend of mine is interested in buying my unrestored Gold K0.

I’m having a good purge of bikes I know I’ll never really use so my three unrestored 750 K0’s will be sold in the coming weeks/months.

The Gold bike is wearing original unstamped HM300’s that are complete solid throughout. I also have the original 18” rear rim for the bike. It’s a solid, nice running, low mileage machine with superb chrome.

I know I’m probably best palaced to value the bike to be honest (I have a figure in mind that I’ve discussed with him), but I’d welcome some Input from other forum members, as there seem to be lots of varying quality 750’s on the market at the moment. All opinions welcomed.

I can't afford it..... but if I was going to put my soul up for sale...thats the sort of thing I would buy with the money.
Rather that than a perfect restoration for me.

What drives Americans to put stupid back tyres on bikes. It looks ridiculous, good thing you have the original rear rim for it James. I have even seen a 350F for sale  with a similar rim fitted. Now that did look daft.

I hear you Roy. Beggars belief. I've had a few 750’s from the states and if say 25% had the 16” rear wheel abomination modification.

Thanks for the other comments folks. Have to say I'm conflicted to let her go, but it's time to simplify...

Yea I was thinking £12k too James and 10 would be a steal for someone.  What are the other two like?
