....and try to imagine what it would cost now! Yes, I'm having a nostalgic troll through my old BIKE magazines.

At those prices I`ll take 6 of each

Using the UK "All Items" Retail price index, where 1973 = 100, 2008 = 798, so that 4:1 at £41.80 would cost the equivalent of £333.56.

Interestingly, a CB550 Yoshi 4:1 went on eBay.co.uk last week for £278

Hey Steve, saw your post over on Sprint Owners'.  Did you get your ride sorted?  Why not just ride the Honda?

Check out my Blog for the story.

I'm riding a '92 Trident Sprint 900 at the moment as my replacement 955 engine is with the mechs to be fitted.

No way I'd ride my 500/4 100 miles per day around the M25 to work and back...
