There's a few on Car and Classic for around that money,

The colour and shape of the tank remind me of my KC100 Companion :)

It's from 6 years before I was born.

I might spend some money on a bike from the year I was born (1978), but that's just a nice(ish) looking classic to me.

For the same money I could buy an SB8R, which is more up my street/Era.

I have no idea what they're worth. In a climate where nice FIzzies go for 9k and two strokes are very desirable my first instinct was 12-15k.

Might not be far off. I've seen the 750 H2 valued at 20k,but I don't know if they ever get that money.

The very first H1A 500 triples were proper bonkers (for the time, obvs). I was round a mates house when we heard what sounded like Ago's MV-3 being launched in the next street. We legged it round there and it was one of the famed local hooligans practising standing starts on his H!A. I would actually admit to being a little scared, because I'd never seen anything of that ferocity at such close quarters. It went like stink and sounded absolutely fantastic. Loud as fuck.

A year or so later he and the bike had a permanent appointment with the Grim Reaper.

Listing ended with no offers beyond £9500.

Should've taken a risk with a bid for 500 quid.
