Just photographed this bike today in Montreal. It was red and looks almost exactly the same, except it does not have that same looking air box/air cleaner like yours...I wonder if it's an older model than yours?
That's beautiful man, I'm restoring one of these in my apartment right now actually. Its a 71 but I'm stoked to see how nice yours is, hopefully mine will look this good when I'm done with it
My dad sent home a Kawasaki 90SSs in a crate from Taiwan in 1972 from when he was in Vietnam what a great motorcycle. I turned it into a 100 changing the cylinder head after my brothers destroyed it.
I had a 1973 bought it in 74 from the son of a friend of my dad. God, what a blast! Paid $350, if i am right. Wish I still had it! It ran 60-65 top end. easy to start.
Hi, I have the same bike but I'm not sure what I should sell it for! I'm hoping you can help me out I've been looking elsewhere for some information on wut it might be worth please please 😮
I sold mine for $1200.. Bought it for $1500... The Market was way down when I sold mine. They should be worth $1500 running.. Maybe more to the Right Buyer. I thought the be worth alot more but its just to small of a Motorcycle to bring the Big Money.. Aleast in Minnesota. Hope that help you out alittle. Thanks for watching.
I have one of these my grandparents got for me when I was 12. I still have it although it's a little worse for wear. I recall the oil tank/bottle being under the seat. I just kept an eye on it and added oil when i got to be about half full.
I had the Original Title Card(1972)and these were Farmers that Bought it Brand New.. So They ordered them with Turn Signals from the Dealer.. Your's Must been Ordered without. Back in the Day you Can Custom Order With different Options on Motorcycle and Cars. Like power Windows.. A/C and Different Engine's..etc.
@@Garyjorges79 I bought mine off the showroom floor in Augusta, Georgia. Those signals were aftermarket, they didn't offer all the stock variations on motorcycles back then like they do today. I had a cousin in Minden, Nebraska that had the exact same model, he bought it off the showroom floor the same as me. That motorcycle had one moving part that made it very mechanically unreliable. The rotary valve was a made of a pressed fiber composite material and it seemed to need to be replaced every year or so. Any motorcycle shop could do it but it ran about $50, in the 70's that was a lot of money. That motorcycle cost about $445 new. It did come with a turn signal switch, but it did not come with turn signals from the factory.
@@billtaylor2405 Maybe they had different options. I've had 3 or 4 of these 1970s Japanese motorcycles. They all had turn signals here in MN.. Its the the Law. Enduro Bikes were made to Get aftermarket Turn signals also here MN. They had the switches and the Fuses all ran. So maybe can order them without them in other states. I even saw them on my Owner manuals for my bikes.. The Flasher(turn signal fuse)goes out alot in them. These farmers would've never paid to put signals on them i would guess.. . They Used it to go from field to field down dirt roads..Either way.. There Fun bikes and worth alot of money these days. Glad you enjoy the Video.
@@Garyjorges79 all those bikes had a more or less universal owner's manual, we are talking the dark ages, long before they had any sort of automation helping with the print out. Also, they used the same handlebar packages on many of them. So even though they had switches for the turn signals, you would never see a 90cc bike sitting on the showroom floor with that option, unless the store itself decided to a promotional upgrade to it, or like you mentioned the state required the signals to be required. I lived in the Moorehead area from 78-79, and I registered my Kawasaki 100 street legal off road bike with no hassles, and it did not have turn signals. Maybe it was only on new motorcycles sold that had to have that equipment.
very cool, my best friend had this bike, we beat the hell out of it. Bullet proof. Good times!
These were the Cats Meow.. Such a Cool little bike. Thanks for watching my Video.

There had a few different styles in the early years but very similar looks I believe. Very cool bikes. Thanks for watching

Thats cool to hear..Like to see it all done up..Can't go wrong with these vintage Motorcycles.
My dad sent home a Kawasaki 90SSs in a crate from Taiwan in 1972 from when he was in Vietnam what a great motorcycle. I turned it into a 100 changing the cylinder head after my brothers destroyed it.
There very strong and fast little motorcycle. They don't make them like this no more.

I have the 1973 model. Also orange. 3500 miles.
There a true Time Capsule.
Do you know what it sold for originally?
I think they said $700
whats is the difrent from mach jr?
this bike is a two stroke right? how is the oil mixed in?
Gots a serrated oil pan for the bike and it just runs it into the gas on its own. Oil injection.
I have one of these my grandparents got for me when I was 12. I still have it although it's a little worse for wear. I recall the oil tank/bottle being under the seat. I just kept an eye on it and added oil when i got to be about half full.
It is not all original. I had one brand new and they did not come with turn signals.
