That's amazing. I have never even seen a picture of one of those. I always thought that the K0 was a similar style to my gold CB250 (in red or white).

That one looks so 'right'. I wonder how many they made?

Don't let the dealer know - he will double the price!

Hi,

Like I said, nobody knows how much where made of these. I heard from the existence of such a machine, and I found one in France. It was imported by a soldier stationed in Asia. There is almost no info about this motorcycle, at a certain moment I tough I was chasing a ghost, and there it was, somewhere in France, parked against a three. I was riding my CB72 in France, so we spend the afternoon watching the differences and drinking wine. I even rode it for a few miles. It has everything the CB72 hasn't, it was right from the beginning, but..... the style of the petrol tank was out dated, so Honda decided not to produce it in large numbers. This is the third one in it's existence that I know of (if it isn't a replica), one in the Honda museum in Japan, one in France and this one.

Hi Jensen
This is it. The only unmatched part are the handlebars.
Until now our best guess was a transformed hawk. But it didn’t look like a custom at all. Engine & frame is clearly a factory work.
I’ll be driving it in two days and will let you know about the performance. It has been garaged for more than 5 years.

Hi Bech,

Well, it will put out 30 hp out of 250 CC and the red line is around 10.000 rpm
The internal parts are probably from a CB250, so cheap parts (for the engine).

If you are really like it :

But 55 euro is a lot of money.
