High price for a K3

<< < (2/3) > >>

JamesH:
Who's got that then trig?

Trigger:
I will keep quite about that :) All i will say it was not registered until 2009 and has a very nice K2 engine.

mickwinf:
the k3 is well over price, first he said its totally original, but has been restored, and a low miles bike only keeps its value if its not used. as for the sandcast.... wow!

SteveD CB500K0:
All of Frank's bikes are advertised at huge prices. I don't know whether he actually sells them or not.

He still has the NR750 which has come down from £105k to £65k in the last 3 years...

--- Quote ---The K3 to me was always uglier than the 500-4 it was based on, the best part about the 500-4 for me was the view from the back, it look sleek but fast and those 4 exhausts just looked awesome. The K3 exhausts just don't look right to me, either they splay out to much or they are the wrong shape but they don't suit the bike. The 750 and 500 fours got the exhausts perfect, why honda felt they had to change a winning look I have no idea, maybe it was because they thought it was starting to look dated but it seems now that the dated look is far more attractive than the later one.

I agree. The exhausts aren't so bad really and one has to admit they produce little and a nice turbinelike sound. It's those horrible monsterbig indicators and rearlight, the also cheaplooking dashboard, the colours. I don't like the carbs either, a PITA to work on. Seat height would be ok for me though.
