That's probably the best I've seen.  I've never seen a tank on one of these that looks half as good as that one.  What a cracker, too good to ride.

I agree Ken.....the tanks on these usually goes a dull pea green colour with age but this one's like new. It's even got the original Kawasaki Hammerhead shocks which usually lasted 3 rides before shitting them selves.....a bit like Yamaha Thermal Flows. Nearly every KX450 I've seen has aftermarket Redwing Hammerheads so this owner's gone the full distance on its resto. A+
