I was there on Saturday with a few mates. We arrived, had a donkey burger and a look around. First visit to George Whites and it's an impressive collection of buildings. Loved the NR750. There have been a couple for sale on carclassic.com but I've not had the £20k+ needed to buy one!

The bloke I spoke to did comment that Honda UK had the NR750 insured for a huge sum, but that seems extreme. There were 2 for sale in France last year, but I can't find any currently available.
