Help needed to identify my CB500-4

<< < (12/21) > >>

Oddjob:
I'd be interested to know why the K0 was not imported and oddly enough why the Jade Green one was never a UK option. I'm betting there was some outside pressure behind the decision, especially when you read those reviews, best bike Honda ever made is one description of the 500, superior to the 750 in handling, price and comfort, why would you not import that kind of product.

AshimotoK0:
Hi Ken asked him about why 500K0 wasn't imported in any numbers. I guess we didnt get green one as that wasn't a K1 colour.

Oddjob:
I’d have asked him why the 500 wasn’t imported at all, only the press bikes were imported as far as I can make out. It’s a brand new model, the 2nd in line four and HondaUK act like it didn’t exist, something wrong there.

Maybe they were worried that it would take sales away from the CB750?

Had a reply from Honda UK which said the information has to come from Japan and may take up to 6 weeks. I guess this is their std system so waiting with fingers crossed
