Old Kwaka designs now owned by a Korean mob ??

Postby Glen » Thu Mar 22, 2007 7:55 am

In the latest AMCN.

Apparently some Korean mob bought an old Kawasaki factory in Japan and found within all the Kawasaki designs, plans and everything else from the early to late 70's including all the Z900's, Z1's etc. They checked and found none of these were registered or whatever by KHI so they did and now own them. Apparently they plan to produce Korean replica's albeit not called Kawasaki's :shock: :shock:

My thoughts exactly, like the VW factory in Brazil, they look the same, but don't quite fit as well, but with some gentle love from the hammer they look the part
