ah terry, you just wish you could have a 78K! you know it! it is sooo obvious!
You know Eldy, I was offered a K7 or k8 by my local bike wrecker a couple of years ago, I've bought many bikes from him over the years and he was a bit surprised when I turned him down, I guess initial impressions are everything with me, and I just couldn't get past that big tank and the funny pipes, geez, it must hold about 10 gallons?
Anyway, he sold the engine to Rex Wolfendon (T Rex Racing) and junked the rest. in hindsight, I should have bought it Eldy, all the "experts" have told me that they're a great bike, it's just that they look so er, fugly? Having said that, Derek Ingram's K7 "Cafe Racer" is very tasty indeed. if I see another one going cheap, I might just buy it mate, it might convert me, ha ha! Cheers, Terry.
