That’s a lot of money for a race bike running factory round top carbs🤔

I've been watching this bike for awhile, this is the story.....

"Fully Rebuilt To CR Race Spec From A CB750; Maintained And Campaigned By Clive Brooker, Then Borrowed By Jim When His Bike Didn't Turn Up, Then Raced And Paraded By Jim , Until Recently "

I have a friend with old CR31 carbs with stacks. The buyer might need them for a high price

Putting a load of stickers on a bike and saying it has been raced by a famous world champion don't make the bike worth £14,500.
I've raced against Jim several times on this bike and believe you me, it ain't worth that sort of money.

Sam.

I'm glad you said this first Sam. I was actually staying silent in case I pissed you off!

Agreed Sam, it's been for sale for ages and will probably remain so at that price.

Thanks Brent and Tony and I'll bet you are all thinking, whats a straight line drag racer doing racing against a road racing world champion.
OK, it was a twisty sprint and the top class was made up of champions and record holders from all types of two wheel sports.
I never managed to get near Jim's times but I guess that's understandable when corners and fast bends are the order of the day. hahaha.
Here's a couple of pictures of Jim on the said bike and myself leaving the line, I think this was around 2004 at Northwich in Cheshire.
The 3rd one is of me in 2001 tipping the VFR into a corner at Southport in Lancashire, Jim rode one of the latest road going MVs at this one and I think I finished 3rd.

Sorry, I can't find the 3rd one but will post it if I come across it.

Here you go Scott, a little (a lot) grainy but here's me tipping the VFR into a corner. haha.
