1973, THAT IS THE YEAR MY WIFE AND I WERE MARRIED--AND WE STILL ARE!

THE LAST COMBAT TROOPS LEFT VIETNAM, INDIANS TOOK HOSTAGES AT WOUNDED KNEE SOUTH DAKOTA,  THE BEST PICTURE WAS THE GODFATHER, AND THE ARAB OIL EMBARGO CAUSED VERY LONG LINES AT THE GAS STATIONS.   AND....YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT EITHER ONE OF THESE MOTORCYCLES FOR MUCH LESS THAN $500.

I THOUGHT A PICTURE OF THESE TWO CLASSIC KAWASAKI'S SIDE BY SIDE THIS FALL WAS SO VERY COOL.  BOTH ARE NEAR SHOWROOM CONDITION AND BRING BACK GREAT MEMORIES.

YOU COULD HAVE EASILY HAVE SEEN BOTH OF THESE BIKES WHEN THEY WERE NEW SITTING SIDE BY SIDE ON A SHOWROOM FLOOR.  DEALERSHIPS OFTEN HAD UNSOLD CARRYOVER BIKES TO SELL.   THE 1974 MODELS WOULD HAVE BEEN SHIPPED AFTER SEPTEMBER 1973. THE RED BIKE IS ACTUALLY A 1972 90 CC MODEL G3,  AND THE BLUE BIKE IS A 1974 100 G5B MODEL.
