Thanks for posting :) Just saved all of the photos as an excellent reference on finishes, toolkit etc... like the carb linkages are zinc plated, yellow passivate ..which I always knew to be correct but many people argue was bluish passivate.
Showing some signs of light corrosion on zinc plated parts (spokes, rear torque arm etc) and crankcases but looks pretty genuine to me.
Interesting to see what it makes £10k perhaps?
Dave:
Who knows what it will go for but your estimate of 10K seems pretty close to me. It's a very rare beast indeed.
Yes, the images are a really useful resource - downloaded as well!!!
AshimotoK0:
Couple of observations though .. not sure that front disc looks 'as new' and where is all of the yellow paint on nuts etc?
Dave:
Yes, the disk does look anomalous.

I'm not sure is right - I thought where the speedo cable routes through was more "wire like", like this:

at least it is on my 75 400F - maybe it changed in later versions? I have a repro stay that looks like the one shown.
That said, I have limited knowledge of these machines and as we know, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing :)
Maybe some bits have been swapped out?
In any case, it still looks very interesting bike...
