;)" you are awful but I do like you" and I ain't camp either ash :-* but I would love to own dick emery's old CB750 if I could hold of it, he was one of my favorite comics .
hmm another sandcast coming to old blighty ,soon there will be more of them over here than the original UK designated K0's it can only add too the rarity of our UK bikes ash ::)
a question for all you old sages and notables out there, does anybody know the actual number of CB750's that was sent to the UK in 1970?
I would have thought they only came in small numbers ;)
or even better still if we started a register of all the UK sohc bikes , like they do on the sandcast site @Steve hint hint

I have often wondered how many myself Steff, I guess not too many in Jan 1970 when I assume mine (built 10/69) was imported but not reg 1st May 1970. I will ask ChrisR, he may know and I do know he does know of the fate of many of the first bikes imported. I did once hear that No.3 into the UK was never sold and its engine went straight into a sidecar outfit. The rest of the bike was sold for parts for more than the bike cost because Honda UK had no real parts supply yet. Don't know how true that is. Yes that Dick Emery bike would be a really nice one to own. He was camp but he certainly had plenty of women if you watch the documentary on him.
Cheers .. Ash
