Hi Anders,
Just spotted your post.
The bike was registered in March 1969 hence it being listed as a 1969.
It is indeed a 67/68 model.
It is one of the original 15 A7′s brought into the UK in early 68.
They did not sell well as, Kawasaki were new to the UK market with no parts back up, plus they were more expensive than the other makes.
Sales were not helped by the 350 class becoming less popular with owners.
You needed to pass a driving test to ride a higher capacity than 250 at the time so on passing your test why buy a 350 when you could own a 650 or 750.
Over the 3 years the A7 were sold in the UK sales totalled 120 ish.
So any A7 in the UK was rare even back then.
I am aware of just 5 early A7′s still being on the road.
Mine has now covered over 45,000 miles.
Despite the mileage she is still going strong.
