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
Old Kwaka designs now owned by a Korean mob ??

I have some prime real estate just one km East of the Gold Coast going real cheap if you are interested.
I also have a very old but good condition bridge in Sydney for sale.
