Hi Folks,
Just returned to biking after a bit of a sabbatical - it's been 20 years since I last rode to be precise, and 10 years before that!
My Last Honda was a Candy Gold 1972 CB750/4 K1 (JML 60K) which I owned in the mid-late 70s (big Kawasakis from then until 1986).  But I loved that K1 and wanted to buy it back but I was informed it was written off in 1989.  So I've recently bought a Jan 93 (on a K reg plate) FireBlade, almost 100% original (apart from white wheels) with 41,000 miles from new, all MOTs, service invoices, tool kit, stamped service book and owners manual.Â
Not entirely sure the FireBlade is for me, but we'll see and I may decide to let it go and replace it with another K1 or K2?
The FireBlade does have a damaged top cowl due to a low speed drop where the indicator punched a small hole through the air intake and the side panels have minor road-rash, but it's easily repairable and I have all the parts needed so it's my Winter project.Â
A couple of photos attached.
