I went on my lunch to see this. I found that it was a Yamaha rather than a Kawasaki, which explains why I was having such a hard time finding a similar model online. I also found that it is a 1981. I expected it to be completely rusted out.
I was amazed but all of the bike was there. The right turn signal is bent, but the alloy wheels are present and look to be in good shape. The motorcycle has been sitting out for a few months and would not turn over, but I have a feeling that it’s nothing that Marvel Mystery Oil won’t cure. This time I did pay for the bike on the spot and have the signed title in my hands.

I have a neighbor that has a small low trailer that should be perfect for bringing this home. Since tonight is New Years eve, I expect I won’t get to talk to him until at least tomorrow afternoon. I’ll take some pictures as soon as the bike is home.
