I always thought it was a K5

Came with special aviator sunnies too!

This would have been your (K4) model Steve note quilted seat and single tank stripe.

Here's my K reg.  Old square format 120 photo.  Bike long gone, but memories attached

Sign of the era with the L plate on a 175. Which led me to reminding myself the rules changed in Feb 83. I ran a CD175 in 78 and didn’t sit my test until 86. Nice bike!

I was also riding a CD175 in 1978, I only had it for 6 weeks, passed my test on it and bought a Bonneville.

My CB175 was brand new.  My father was the guarantor.  I kept it for about 9 months, then chopped it in for CB250 K0 1968.  A straight swap I think.  I just kept paying the loan off.  The 250 "K0"  (no K0 then it was just CB250) was a quick bike...before Soichiro detuned them from 33 down to 27hp with the K1....If I remember correctly.  No helmet law then!

Cheers,
