$925. for a copy of Mark Haycock's Honda CB750 book?
« on: November 19, 2009, 03:28:04 PM »
I couldn't believe this, must be in high demand! I got a new for less than $50 a few years ago.   http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1861262582/ref=sr_1_olp_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258672913&sr=8-1&condition=used

I have a copy of that book too and would have paid about $50 about 10>12 years ago.
Really can't imagine anybody paying that asking price.
It is not a bad book but I like John Wyatt's Original CB750 better.
I saw one of these (Original CB750) at Amazon for about $200. (New price was around the $50 mark as well)

The John Wyatt book is difficult to get in the UK and tends to command a good price. The others usually sell for around £15 to £20.

Looks like I had best stockpile these while they are cheap.  ;)

Can't understand why John Wyatt does not have it reprinted. He still has a unit at Marston Moor next to the guy who painted my 750K0 and he was restoring a gold K2 for a customer whilst I was there

There's a flaw in your plan Mike - why'd we need those books when we have YOU to refer to on here  :D
