No, since they were made for the Swedish market only unfortunately they went out of stock a long time ago.

This is BTW the flour company's copyrighted logo that prohibited Honda from using their wing logo in Sweden. Very easy to confuse with the Honda logo, don't you think?

This logo predates Honda. Heinkel Aircraft started mass producing scooters in 1953. 'Flying H'

This is my 1968 Honda CB450 K1 at Makarska in Croatia during my 7000 km solo ride across Europe in the summer of 2011.





This is my modern bike, a 1969 Honda CB450 K2 at the top of the mountain Dalsnibba in Norway during my 4000 km solo ride across Scandinavia in the summer of 2012.

"Modern Bike"?, They both look like they're brand new!

I was working at a Kawasaki dealer in 84 & 85. I got a chance to test one of the first 900 Ninja's we received. It felt like my GPZ750, but with more of everything. What a nice bike to ride, even today.

Heat shroud takes most of the heat! But........on really warm days in traffic it will give your leg a exhaust tan!

I owned the vastly more powerful KE-125 back in the 90's. Doesnt look like they have changed them much other than a square tailight and the tank is a bit different.
I would guess they are no longer sold here in the states because of the evil polluting two stroke motor but Kawasaki may still sell them in other markets?

Drum brakes, I bet a lot of younger riders have never heard of them.
