Hiya Peter...

That does look really nice. It just shows what can be found.

Is the front bit of the gearbox selector cover broken off like seems to happen all too easily? Or is it just the angle that the picture was taken?

I don't think if he's bought it Off ChrisR he will have any nasty surprises !! It will be a good 'honest'  bike. If you look at the way K2's have appreciated in value lately I reckon he has an real asset there. I know that the K1 was the highest no. of production but anyone know how many came to the UK. You don't tend to see that many - or is it just me who's not seen them around or on Ebay UK.

Seamus, that was a nasty surprise, was your engine oil tight before you found that damage?
spitfire yes i will enjoy this bike i am itching to get it on the road
Mike candy red is a good colour and yours looks real good too, i still like the f models as well
Yoshi i think its the photo that makes it look that way, i will double check the cover in morning
Ash i think that sums it up a good honest bike, i never new that K1 was the highest number of bikes made, i see lots of K2's up for sale and they are comanding a good price lately

Hi Pete

The motor was oiltight before the strip. Only found the damage after cleaning off the oil round the sprocket area. The motor was only pulled out so that I could get the frame powder coated. I suspect that yours is OK and did'nt mean to worry you.

I had mine repaired via a friend who works in the aircraft industry. His welder is very skilled and is tested every 6 months for competency. A bit lucky I guess.

The K1 is the best looking K series in my opinion and has all the little improvements that made the earlier CB750 a little bit awkward.

Yours looks really good for the year, unlike mine which needed a lot of money spent to get it to where it is now.
