What do you KO experts think? Not in the market myself but looks good value?

Cheers Phil, is that what you've got me for Christmas? ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
You wish Julie!
-
Oh well Phil, it was worth a try :'( :'( I asked Trig to buy it for me but he said we have too many bikes already, I will remind him of that the next time he brings another new acquisition in the house !!!!
-
Does this person actually wish to sell, just one crappy picture and a single sentence, could put some effort into it.
-
I agree about the crap ad, but even with just one photo you can start spotting stuff - missing reflector and grab rail, gearbox sprocket cover is broken and half missing (chain damage to cases?) rev counter cover hanging loose...
Edit: Pillion foot rest replaced by a bolt to hold the pipes on. Headlamp rim not attached to body, something wrong with clutch lever pivot bolt, way too long or just put there for photo. I'd better stop looking and go and do some work..... ;)
-
Grab rail ? No grab rail fitted to K0 ;)
-
There you go, I do learn something every day on here.
How about 'shiny finish heat shield intead of matt' instead? :)
-
You missed the Jap low style seat and, what looks to me to be a tax sticker on the lower fork ;)
-
Black control lever caps missing...... Don´t buy!
-
You can see why he only put one photo up - show us the other side to have a pick at!
I didn't know there were Japanese market seats for the, er, shorter rider, Julie, I just assumed the foam had collapsed over time.
Seriously, I'd want to know more about why the top half of the sprocket cover is missing for a start.

You could always do what James did re the 'Cosworth' 550 i.e. contact the owner.
In this case you could comment on the lack of detail and pictures in the listing and ask if he could add some more, maybe suggesting that there appear to be some items requiring completion and could he list any known outstanding issues.
It may not do any good but if he wants to sell it shouldn't be a difficult task for him.
-
I Have contacted the seller about the bike and he mentioned it needs a little more work .
Regarding the sprocket cover it seems like it is not installed and not half of it not there . If you zoom on the pic you do not see any half cover installed from that angle.
It seems that some parts were fixed on quickly to be able to take pics.
-
Apropos seat, MrDavo, do you need one for your K1 instead of that odd looking one on your bike?
Actually I'm selling one:

Have a spare K1 seat pan as well.
-
I did contact the seller last night asking all the usual, 1st date reg in UK, VIN & engine no etc plus a few other questions but, he has not even had the courtesy, or balls, to get back to me. What a time waster I really do hate time wasters, they really do my head in >:( >:( >:(

John,
I think that KO in Italy is far better than that one here at more or less same price. Its located North italy.
I have some detail pics from that one showing IMHO an untouched survivor.
A mate from Munich is heavily interrested and maybe already on the way.

That's 2 things you have learnt from the forum today Dave. I'm sure a forum member purchased one a couple of years ago in error.

JUlie
When he replied to me he told me it is a US import and been in the UK for some time and not registered yet .
-
Well, I'm bloody pissed off he didn't reply to me, maybe he has a thing about women buying bikes.....

US import yes, but my mates been told its/was registerred in Italy.
But you never know...
BTW: has no HM300
Edit: sory, I thought you replied to me

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Can you find something to put on this evening that won't get me all het up and angry Phil? Something that the seller actually wants to sell.......
-
Sorry Julie - just thought it would get a calm, objective debate going on an affordable (for a KO) example of the holy grail of SOHC! Passionate lot on here me thinks. Could have been a deliberate 'plant' by a 'DOHC forum' member to wind us all up!!!!! :)

A better class of roadkill in Canada.
The auction has ended, but it didn't sell, for some unfathomable reason. 8)
@ Sgt.Pinback, thanks but I got a good repro K1 seat now. If anyone wants to buy the one I had with the ducktail, let me know. The base isn't perfect (small patch welded repairs) and 'Honda' is painted on, but it looks fine otherwise.

I have great concerns about you Dave. I'm trying to imagine why on earth you are watching such items on internet? :o :o :o
