When this bike
came to me it had 275 original
kilometers on it and a broken kick shaft. Not sure if
that is what caused its' demise and storage to
preserve it this well, but it also had to make its' way over
to the U.S. as this was not a model sold here in the U.S.
I believe the mileage due to the fact that the bike appears
to wear its' original tires. Clear Title in Hand.

Notice the reflective
stripe on front fender,
remnants of triangle reflective sticker on rear fender,
buddy seat and pegs, upswept muffler, unique shape tank and
badges. The bike wears 19" front wheel, 17" rear
wheel and handlebars without a cross brace like the
SL100 model here in the U.S.
The license bracket is sized for Japanese tag and the bike
has turnsignals and the unique switch on LH handlebar to accommodate
them.
Unique decals on side covers and as well all the decals on
the bike are in Japanese characters. You can also
notice in the pictures that the front forks are run up into
the upper triple tree about an inch or so and not sure if
that is because they used the longer SL125 front forks, but
with the 19" wheel they were accommodating the difference or
if just a previous owner moved them up for seat height
change. Other unique pieces on this Japanese Domestic
model are the center stand, the non adjustable headlamp and
of course the speedometer indicated in KPH. This bike
is extremely well preserved for 40+ years and at this time I
intend to keep it as a survivor.
