"Very rare, especially in UK. Believe it is 1 of 3 imported.
This bike has been in a shed since 1984 and will make a great winter project. Completely original and unmolested, showing 1,587 km or 985 miles. Everything as it left the factory. Never seen salt, but there is some surface rust here an there.
The bike is mechanically in excellent condition with everything working besides the indicators which need a new relay. The engine runs like a sewing machine after 28 years with nothing more than a new plug, it started second kick!
The bike was bought by my father from the Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co Ltd Japan in 1984 as a 3 year old bike. It had been used by an engineer surveyor during the construction of an oil tanker from 1981 to Oct 1982. It was subsequently transported to Rotterdam on board this wessel from where it was transported to the UK. All customs duty paid for, receipt supplied.
The bike was then never used and has sat in the shed ever since. It has never been registered but all paperwork needed is with the bike. "
