Just been directed to this site by Face Book Bikers global. Had CB750's for years, last time I used
my K0 was 2005 as I have been touring a lot on a Pan European. Currently have another K0 in big lumps and a K6
in a bigger lump.
Thinking of dragging one out next year, is there any local tyneside meets and events?
Take Care

The other die hards wont like this but they have never floated my boat just haven't.OK you die hards I am in the middle of doing a deal for what he says, remembering he is a FRENCH MAN
Buying a k0 all in bits and boxes he assures me it is all there with a spare engine,What I would like to know is how much will I expect to give and I have no desire to restore it so going on that if true what could I get for selling it as spare parts?If and when this happens and here doing a deal is like waiting for Jesus to re appear are there many takers out there?
Cheers

Well for me the K1 is the best bike in the range in terms of looks / performance overall. But there is something raw / special about the k0's.
I think you'd sell on the bike in a heartbeat if it's all there Ralph. I'd definitely be interested as I'm sure plenty of others would be...

Am I reading that right James

Welcome to the strange world of the SOHC.
What Pan do you have? Had a ST1300 and still have a ST1100 1995 with 567,560 miles, still going strong.
-
Thanks for the welcome
Trigger I have the st1100 with only 156000 miles on it but it isnt happy at moment, cooling system pressurizing and
dropping water, havent got to the bottom of yet. Tried running to very hot but no leaks
-
Try starting with the head gaskets. Is there any cream in the engine? Did a head overhaul on mine at 175.000 and a topend rebuild at 450.000.
-
Finally got to look at the log book if you like and it turns out to be a k1 vin starts109
Over to k1ers what it worth to buy in bits 2 engines probably rusted to hell wont restore it so does used parts fetch money?
Cheers

It sounds like a late k1 Ralph probably worth about the same as James's k2 that's for sale at the moment.But if your parting it out than probably half that again.
The most valuable bits will probably be the rhino horn top yoke,clocks and obviously carbs.

Thats what I thought late k1 reg dec 1975 .I also agree with the bits that may fetch money will get back to him and see what I can get it for
Cheers
