BYU765H UK Bike on eBay UK 3 up Reg No. from Dick Emerys Bike
AshimotoK0:
Anyone know who got this or what it went for ?
Genuine UK bike .. three up reg. no. from Dick Emery's so probably came from Tippetts of Surbiton originally (just down the road from the Goods and the Leadbetter's :D)
One for Trigger I reckon? Looks like someone traded it in at a local Honda dealers. Was a prize in CB mag in 1997.

I just found my copy of the magazine this was a prize in so I can see the finish in its original restored state, which was done by Rising Sun Restorations (John Wyatt of CB750 book fame). It's an early, genuine UK, bike and paintwork will have been done by the same(superb) painter I used (Andrew Parnaby), as he operates from the next unit to John in North Yorkshire. The mileage (presumably before resto) is within 1k of mine. There has been lots of speculation on this forum lately about the true value of early UK bikes lately and a lot of UK bikes 'coming out of the woodwork' being sold. This was sold by a dealer, so whatever it sold for is going to be true gauge of the ACTUAL resale value of one of these early UK models. So does anyone know what it sold for? Suppose I could call the dealer and ask or maybe it's a member or 'lurker here. Talking of 'lurkers', if there are any out there reading this,come and join us properly and then we have strength in numbers, can share things between ourselves and you can at least view the attached images etc.
BTW the eBay bike had the wrong front mudguard ,not a 'double cut' .. anyone else spot anything !

Ash, why do you think the Honda Dealer has sold it ?

Don't fully understand the question Graham. If its a straight one, then because it was a trade in ! but whatever it sold for it's a good benchmark of the value (or more probably due the Wyatt / magazine provenance) of mine when finished.
Trigger:
why do you think it was a trade in ? Why do you think it was sold ? I know a lot of Honda dealers that have a collection tucked away ;)
