Go on I'll humour you all briefly....I'm told this is a rare machine, doesn't look like owt special to me but hey, ho.

Would that be Honda's attempt at re-inventing the wheel,  Oval Cylinders...it never really became popular....could have been summat to do with the price too

I used to have this in my collection, until quite recently,      but was made to feel embarrased by 'friends' in the Triples fraternity  ...it actually had only 1.8 miles on the clock, from being pushed around the factory

2 of these on e-bay, 1 at £85,000 and 1 at £105,000. Engineering masterpiece but ugly as sin

Bloody Hell...I nearly had a heart attack there Coman     

I thought you were referring to the KZ400.... I did make some profit bwhen I sold it, but nowhere near that much 

[coman37]

Z400 is cute but not £85-£100k desirable,

I am very very slowly restoring a CB 500T, which is similar to the Z

OMG!!  The NR.  I absolutely love that machine.

I believe that one was at Devils Bridge a couple of years ago.

I was gobsmacked to see one on the road.

I remember the rider had that shitty Caberg lid!

The KZ 400 was purchased by me from Rick Brett about 3 years ago, and was one of, I think' 4 KZs that Rick imported from the States, the bike was never imported by Kawasaki into the U.K

I took it to a couple of shows and it impressed wherever it went, it was absolutely perfect because it was a true N.O.S (New Old Stock) bike it even had the original plastic covers over the instruments, and was actually featured in the VJMC 'Tansha' magazine

I could never, nor would I hope, anyone else put the bike on the road, which is a sad thing to say I know, it was truly a collectors bike, but alas, I like to ride my classics (it also had one too little cylinders and two too many strokes  )  and so I sold the KZ to a guy in Dunfirmline, who almost immediately stuck it on fleabay and tried to make a profit, what a prat

I don't know whats happened to it now.

Here's the evidence....amazing eh ?



BTW only a 70s bike builder could put vivid green and orange pin stripes on a copper coloured paintset

Winston, that photo was taken at the Kawasaki day in 2011 at Hartside Summit which Sidders, Kwikasfuki, 100milesaway and I went to. Great day out.

The NR is fequing gorgeous though - when I win the lottery................

[O.C.]

I recall seeing an NR in Charles Hirst's showroom in Belfast, they had it kinda tucked away to one side, and I just didn't understand why it wasn't in a more prominent position

The NR is an absolute modern day Classic


A bit like yerself Chris
