It's got a grease nipple on the swinging arm ..this big Yamaha  ;D ;D ;D .
I had one in the 80's ..OK not a Honda but a lovely bike all round and this one looks like it has the original mega  rocking horse poo pipes.

Anyone surprised that it didn't sell? Shame on you Mathewsons  !

Initially looks like a UK bike but I reckon it's an import fitted with stuff like long rear mudguard to replicate a UK bike ... Says KZ on the VIN sticker ... never remember that on mine. Still nice though.

They only estimate around what the owner wants, do you think its worth £7-8K? Obviously bidders didnt think so

All depends on the state of the exhausts. If they are really nice I would think £7k is fair. A much underrated Kawasaki model IMHO...pity they never did a 4-4 exhaust version.
