True price of 750K0

(1/4) > >>

AshimotoK0:
This person seemed to list his CB750K0  bike at a reasonable auction  price, not sure if it sold or not. Rob a friend of mine and fellow 350K twin owner, sent the seller a very valid question on it, as he had owned one in early 1970 and has been watching all of the examples sold recently. (The seller included his question at the end) I reckon people like 'Frank' on eBay are artificially  hiking up the price but never actually realize anything like the asking price. I have always pitched on my UK K0 being worth about 9k when complete (not that I reckon I will ever sell it)  and this is  what the seller was asking as  a start price for his.

Make no mistake though that those early bikes are money pits with sharks (mainly on eBay UK ) out to pull a fast one on you. Example this looks a little optimistic when Saisei have a set of Yamiya NoNo pipes on there at the same time at less than half the price. A well respected sandcast restorer I know took a brand new set of HM300's off his bike and bought a set of no.no. ones from Saisei as he considers they are more in keeping with the original pipes and without the 'paragraphing' stamped into them. My Genuine HM300's are stashed in the loft but when I eventually get the bike done and come to fit them, God knows if they will fit properly as i heard horror stories about fit and quality at the end of production.

Blimey Ash £2900 that's just a rip off. You would be scared to start the engine at that price. Its no wonder some owners are in the ridiculous situation of keeping the exhausts in the loft and running the bike with a cheap 4 into 1 fitted. Just paid £880 for a set of Sankei exhausts for the 350F and I thought that was madness. Its £200 more than I paid for the entire bike. Crazy.

 i got two sets of cb750 exhausts in the loft now if they sell for that sort of money im gonna have to cash them in lol
i got a set of hm300 and set of no number pipes and dont really know or care which pipes are correct for the k0 model but on the bikes they will go when the time comes,unless i sell them first  ;)
     on the subject of twins ,a guy not to far from me said he sold a restored cb250 k0 for £4700 but i think he was telling pork pies ,i was offered the very same bike for £1200 although it was unrestored then but still in original condition i have known that bike to have spent the last forty years in a local bike shop
 can a learner legal bike then, be worth the effort now  ::)

The true price of a KO is what someone is prepared to pay. Classic motorcycles sold a blue one last week for 25K.
