Yes it's also a bit like the UK 'sloper' CD175 in styling, like its big brother and the same metallic grey colour.

Had a CB72 once bought it from a posh guy in Allwoodley near Leeds, he wanted 35 quid for it but I knocked him down to 32.50. My girfriend (now wife) made me sell it as she said she had a bad feeling about it. She was on about it the other day 'Do you remember when we went to Bridlington to buy some 'prongs'. By prongs she means forks, I screwed a longer M6 bolt into the original by mistake and ruined a fork leg. Here she is with 'sloper'  it replaced somewhere on the A63 road.
Cheers ... AshD

No Pete, we want one of her when she arrived home and found you had baked your newly painted 750 crankcases in her oven at 200°C   :)

Ash i got clean away with that one, because when she was in earlier i kicked up a bad smell in the house by reving a smokey bike by the conservatory, she must have assumed that was it, lets hope she dont read this forum, i already have a problem now she comes out with my biking mates , i have to be real careful what i say , like the other week i was just blabing out how i am skint because i spent 4k on a bike and i see the ears prick up , they usually store that sort of info until they need some sort of defence in an argument then unleash the wrath on you
