Japanese Domestic K0 at Lotherton Hall Show 10kGBP

Japanese Domestic K0 at Lotherton Hall VJMC Northern Show 10k GBP ONO today ... see pics attached

For that price I would expect non verbage, scripted DID rims and a Yamiya or original seat cover... but hey what do I know. Note the domestic market red indicator lamp on the top yoke between the clocks to indicate over the Japanese speed limit I believe. Clock covers did not look right to me either. It must be late K0 as it has a single cut fender. Somehow these bikes don't look as nice  in Gold.  I think that's the colour for the K2 but it will be original as K0's were available in gold but not in the UK.

If it's someone on here's bike, it's by no means a criticism , just my saddo obsession with originality... probably only  just shows how much these have rocketed in price since I bought mine in 2008.

Anyone else go there  today? 1st time for me!

Cheers .. AshD

 ;) a very  nice bike but not a very nice price in my eyes . ive often thought of painting one of mine like that one,  but as you say we never got them in that colour

I went to the show today, weather was good. The K0 was interesting but a bit over priced for it's condition.
The clocks where raised higher than normal, not sure if it's a Japanese spec or the owners adjustment?

Outstanding Suzuki GT750 on show

Yes nice weather Alan, and a lovely setting, there was also a nice 750K2 and  a couple of 400/4's but sadly no CB250K0 for me to look at,  only a K2.

Funny story, there was funny little Lancashire guy  tucked on a stall round the back, who had a pack of four metal clad plug caps, unpriced, he told me they were 30  GBP  so I offered 25 and he said no they would go for 60 on eBay all day long. So gave him 30 quid and then he said that 30 was for just for one!!! Do they really go for 60 on eBay? They are 'Sh**e anyway but ok for a show bike. Not for 120 quid four a set of four though.
That 'On all Fours' guy's stuff seems a tad dear as well. I didn't bother talking to him, after a grumpy response I got from him  at Stafford one time.

Cheers .. AshD

John Wyatts (his customers I believe)  Gold/White stripe K0 looked nicer (same colours as the 'Brighton' pp bike)
