Nice bike just reminded seller its not a K1 !
AshimotoK0:
Sent photos from John Wyatts book and he has now added an amendmebt to listing an it's a UK bike.
So another 'K0' transition (or whatever Trigger calls it :) :) ) has surfaced
Bryanj:
He is saying it has the single pull 4 seperate throttle cables but i can see a bracket with a bell crank!

Yes correct Bryan . I noticed that too. It must be one of the 36 UK transition bikes I guess.
Bryanj:
He is still mis representing it though

I think he's just worded that incorrectly, he should have said it has the pull/push arrangement not the 4 cables but the number is supposed to be inside the K0 limits according to the "expert" John Wyatt. That's not a dig at John just a reflection of his status on the 750s. In that respect he's misrepresenting it by saying it's a K1. In the end who cares, it's a bloody nice bike and if it is a transition bike that would make it rarer than the K0 diecast versions.

He's now corrected it Ken .. agreed it's a rare bike and superb condition so interested to see what it goes for. He says the customer asked for the later carbs to be fitted ... wonder what the originals were? He doesn't give the full frame number so could be slightly before the transition model.
This is what he added today:-
n 17-Feb-20 at 21:18:32 GMT, seller added the following information:
"CORRECTION
AFTER MUCH INFORMATION FED TO ME FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE CB750 (THANK YOU), AND ITS MANY VARIATIONS, TOGETHER WITH MY OWN REFRESHMENT OF THE WORK I CARRIED OUT ON THIS BIKE, THE CONCLUSION IS
THAT THE BIKE IS IN FACT A KO, AND NOT A K1 MODEL.
THE CARBS ARE THE LATER TYPE (BAR OPEN/CLOSE, NOT 4 SEPARATE CABLES). THIS WORKS BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL DESIGN ANYWAY AND IS WHAT THE CUSTOMER ASKED FOR AT THE RESTORATION. "
