Didn't Kawasaki Australia have 150 of these that could be registered that they put together here in Australia. Much like the CRE500 Honda's in 2002
Just a run out thing for the air cooled with the water cooled ones just about to hit the dealer floors or already on the floors at the time.
For some reason 150 is the number that has stuck in my head for years but it may not be right.
I can remember reading it in ADB there was a picture and a bit of a story, about a third of a page. A kdx/klx headlight was used, can't remember much about the silcencer, rear guard or lighting system.
The Mt Ebenezer 12 hour was a bit of a popular race at the time with Trevor Williams blowing the doors of Lovett. maybe one of the companies that did the lighting mods for the 12 hour did the electrics. They were pretty good value for money from memory , maybe cheaper than they were as a MX only bike earlier in the year or only $150 more can't remember accurately. Could have possibly been towards the end of the first water cooled year even. It was deffinatley mentioned in ADB at the time that it was a way of getting rid of excess air cooled KX500 stock.
I was close to finishing school at the time and have always remembered them and wanted one but never even heard of them mentioned much since and I have still never seen one of these registerable ones to look at or purchase that I can remember, only in ADB so the memorys are getting less as time goes on .
