Awfully skimpy on the pics and description. Call me jaded, but I always see red flags on these deals   If bought in Japan should have different speedo face etc.

Yep, appears righteous but needs way more pix. 
(Heh, not like I have the coin anyway.)

You get these  cheap over there, A nice early K goes for silly money in the UK

A Japanese home market 750 should have solid, non folding rider pegs, yellow reflectors in the taillight lens and a different kickstand. Still, a nice bike. I will be watching this one. I have the same U.S. model with 11,000 miles.

I figured that you 750 guys would know "what is what" on that bike. Could he have bought one that was for EXPORT market?

I e-mailed him some questions and requested more pics this morning to see if he is for real but have heard nothing back -

Yes I agree - a 'Mel Manning restored' K0 went for £10k on Ebay a few weeks ago - I don't know why Sandcasts are so special over in the UK, as they were never officially sold here. That's why I went for the earliest Genuine UK 'CB750K' (built 10/69) that I could find (13th in the Uk)
