Well if you think that asking price for that KO is a bit over the top there is a 1965 CB160 listed on ebay at the moment starting at £5250 (item No 231287458853) the listing states in was restored by Rising Sun at a cost of £20000! That right twenty grand. Oh, and the asking price includes a can of fuel tank sealant! Clearly the tank is suspect.

I have a CB160 which is more or less in the same restored condition but the fuel tank isn't suspect. It also lives in the house, not on display but hidden under the stairs.

There really are some around who do value these bike way over the top.

Never got on with my CB160  Peter, I owned it after my 175 sloper  for a very short time and it seemed very dated, even in 1974, same with the CB72 I had. I then got a K2 CB250 in candy gold /white and it just seemed so much nicer with the candy paint, chrome and separate instruments. Same with the 450 bomber. I much preferred the slightly later one with the chrome and candy paint. But everyone to their own I suppose. No one is going to argue on the beauty/ practicality of the  CB400/4 though, those pipes are a work of art IMHO.

Cheers ... AshD
