I know I've been watching the prices starting to climb fast, and that's an import try to find a genuine uk one. I paid £8500 second hand in circa 1990 brand new £12000 ish from what I recall! Could have been worse

Don't know if 'O' rings are safe? (probably a different 'rubber') but I used GT85 to clean a corroded electrical switch in a flashlight. Left it soaking and it did the job fine but the 'rubber' boot on the switch turned to snot. Don't know if WD40 would have done the same though?
Urban myth. It won't damage the O rings at all. See the video posted earlier. Gavia said:

I was recounting what GT85 did to a 'rubber' compound after a few hours of contact, a compound different to chain 'O' rings as it is a very soft (silicone?) type of 'rubber', I don't know if using WD40 would have caused the same thing to happen?

However successful (or not!) they were, Honda collectors have some deep pockets already and when these things start to get into the 'proper' classic era things like this (and the special NSX's) will, I suspect, make the prices people are paying for a Brough Superior look like change. For reference, they made only 200 NR750s I believe, far more than say an SS80 Brough that will cost you about the same now and Brough is a long forgotten marque...
