But I can't remember how I extracted the info - it was 13 years ago

- February 15, 2013, 00:46:03 AMNice thread. I have not come across another drifter here in Melbourne. One of the Vulcan Group members said that the other locals would love to see my ride as most had never seen a Drifter. I will have to oblige some time soon.
I can better the deal of $1,000. FREE. Ok my father had to die and leave the bike to me so I suppose its real cost was a heck of a lot more. He only paid $1,200 for it, all original with only a sissy bar and extra lights added.
It would be great to find out how many are still around down here in AUS.

- February 04, 2013, 23:04:29 PMI doubt I will ever get that lucky again.
I build ads for a local "buy here pay here" car lot, he keeps offering cars in trade or my drifter.
I was delivering an ad proof one Saturday morning, it was about 35 deg.f.
I was on my drifter, he started offering me a 99 dodge Dakota, with 215,000 miles.
Then a 1996 mini van with 240,000.
I politely told him thanks for the offer, but no thanks.
This is my only means of transportation.
AND, they only made 9000 of them.
Then he really got insistent, offering others in the $2500-$3000 range.
To shut him up, I said I would trade or a truck, he got excited until I pointed to a 2011 f150 for $18,000 with 25,000 miles.
He got pale and looked like I had stabbed him.
He said "that bike ain't worth that much!" I told him to me it is..
I handed him his ad, got on the Drifter, and went or a ride...
He hasn't been by in 2 weeks to run an ad.....
But since we are the only paper in this town, he will be back..

And my daughter would love a 400..
But it will have to wait for the lottery winnings..
45, my previous offer is the same: I'll still be glad to double your money on what you paid for your 1500 -then you could go buy them BOTH a bike. ...assuming you could get another really good deal.... twice.....

- January 05, 2013, 09:51:20 AMThat's probably true...and my other Kawasaki, a 2000 W-650, is so rare here in N. America that it makes me angry when I see someone in, say, Australia chopping one...

And second..
some of those 800s and 1500s were probably sold in Japan, they were certainly sold in Britain and Europe so your North American ones might be rarer than you think..
