Restoration of UK CB750 K0 - one of the 36 UK ‘Transition’ K0’s

<< < (5/16) > >>

Spitfire:
Sadly James I do not have any more info on the bike and have only about a dozen photos of it, I sold it to buy a new K2 in 1972 but was most disappointed with the K2 it was so bland so I sold it and bought a K1 which was a great improvement.

Cheers

AshimotoK0:
The transition bike on eBay had high bars but may have been changed. If you can track down the restorer Mel Manning who restored it  he may know James. Or ChrisR perhaps?

Also ..interesting on the red kill switch knob because I got one NOS UK style one LpH  that came originally from Honda's Service Dept. in Nottingham and it had the black knob but the lower half was for the two throttle cable setup.

K2-K6:
Unsure if anyone has a copy of the following

https://www.amazon.fr/CB-750-cylindres-r%C3%A9volutionn%C3%A9-moto/dp/2907051873

as it has quite some detail accompanied with photos of the early bikes.

What did you feel at the time was lacking in the K2 that the K1 had over it, as apart from the exhaust, which did rob it of a few horses at the top end, they were very much the same bikes? Wonder if you would feel the same today?

Spitfire:
The K2 was very bland it had no character, it was nice and refined, but at the time I was racing around with my hair on fire at ridiculous speeds, going from it and on to the K1 was a step change back to the CB750.
The K2 would probably fit in better with me now as I'm more refined now, old some might say.

Cheers
