Could do better.

Where's the bottom of the airbox, the clocks are those cheap replica's (not ND), big dent in the chain guard, cables hanging under the lower yolk, front right indicator bolt stuck out, wrong engine mounting bolts. I give up I could go on and on. To be fair though it does only claim to have had the nuts and bolts restored. Not worth the asking price but maybe a good user bike.

The problem is that at £13K....and reading the sh1te the Seller is spouting, he obviously doesn't really know much/enough about this bike.......or even CB750K's in general..... which is worrying

I wonder if he's just bought it or P/X'd it and thinks he can make a killing - like Watty's CB350F which was the subject of some debate on here recently ?

I think I'd walk a mile and look for something else.....not that I'd pay £13K for one like this when you can get a really well sorted one rebuilt properly by some of the Members on this Forum.

Even a fair K3/4/5/6 can be bought for around the £4K/£5K mark and even after putting a fair amount of work into it, you'd have a nice reliable bike knowing that you don't have to worry about anything for the next few years if you wanted a keeper'.

I think there is a lot to be said about buying an older bike from somebody who really knows what they are doing, and can demonstrate that the bike they are selling really is as good as they claim, and worth the asking price.

Time will tell.

I think the classic bike/car bubble is about to burst very shortly and all the chancers selling their 'ground up restorations' will get burnt. The extremely low historical interest rates are now on the rise with another 0.25% rise only today. 'investors' have been putting their money into tangible assets such as cars and motorcycles which unlike art are not subject to gains tax when sold on so a bit of a winner if you have a shed load of cash and getting next to no interest from the banks. Inflation is now raging virtually out of control worldwide and wages can't keep up. The way it's shaping up the investors will soon be offloading their tangible assets to pay their increasing bills, the rest of it will be invested in the bank's now the interest rates are creeping up.
I witnessed as probably many others did on the forum the same in the late 80’s, late 90’s and 2008.
Hold on and grab a bargain!
