Dick on his 'New' 750K0

Dick Emery owned BYU 762H . Frank's bike is BYU765H. Think Dick Emery's bike is long gone now but his GL1000 is still about.

Oh yes Ash, I see that now

My friend's CB750 was advertised by CJ Ball initially, as you said and you are quite right in that it is registered 765H and not 763, as my memory told me! My friend bought a new CB1100 EX (now at CJ Ball for new cylinder barrels to be fitted under warranty due to paint flaking off and new spokes due to corrosion) in July of last year.
Frank did ultimately buy the bike and I believe still has it for sale.
The other history mentioned, i.e. restored by John Wyatt and subsequently given as a prize in a competition is correct as well.

Look what I just found ... I had heard about it but never able to track it down. An article on his assembly of the model of his bike.
