Description

This is a Kawasaki W3 650 registered in March 1973 (Showa 48), sold by a Nagoya dealer after a trade-in from a long-term, well-documented owner who bought it from Red Baron. The frame and engine numbers match, with no engine swap, and the frame is an early, low 200-series number that the seller calls rare. The frame and all exterior bodywork have been professionally repainted (later-style paint scheme) as part of a semi-restoration, and the bike is otherwise kept fully stock/original: original single seat, original switch boxes, turn signals, tail light, steering damper, double front disc brakes, original brake master cylinder, front and rear Takasago rims with original spoke lacing (not rewrapped), speed warning light, and the correct genuine 'daikon' muffler in clean condition without dents. The seller reports the engine starts on the first kick, idles smoothly at low RPM, revs cleanly to redline with no hesitation, no white smoke, no abnormal noise, and no oil leaks. The fuel tank interior is rust-free and electrical systems have been checked with no issues found. Registration/transfer paperwork is complete and ready.

Yahoo's condition field lists no notable scratches or dirt, and the seller describes the engine, electrics, and bodywork as being in excellent, well-maintained condition with no oil leaks or abnormal noise. Frame and exterior panels have been freshly repainted as part of a semi-restoration.

Shipping: The seller offers nationwide door-to-door vehicle transport across Japan (Hokkaido to Okinawa) and asks buyers to provide their address for a transport quote. A shipping fee amount appeared on the listing page but was not clearly resolved in the text provided.

Ships from Aichi, Japan, to our Osaka warehouse and on to Pomona.
