Is this the toughest Kawasaki restoration project?
A 1965 B8 and most of it is somewhere else.
The listing says it was the first bike that was completely Kawasaki. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Circa-1965...item51c9416961 |

According to Roy Bacon in his book , The Illustrated History of Kawasaki Motorcycles , the 1961 B7 Meihatsu was the first machine completely built by Kawasaki.
In 1962 the 125cc B8 was the first machine to actually carry the Kawasaki name . [/I]Mid 60s saw the first Kawasaki imports to the US.... This is a 1961 Meihatsu . Kawasaki established the name Meihatsu in 1953. 1962 Kawasaki 125cc B8
