OK some of you might now that I have bought a 69 h1 off RB.
while looking for some pictures, I came across this
it is from the KHI site in Japan
is this a pre production photo?

oh and what colour should the III be in the badge on a 69 h1
I can find repros with it colours red
but something tells me it should be blue

Gary, just have a look at my 69 parked in front of my office with the genuine side cover and emblem, the badge has white inside mach and 500 and red inside III.
Yes this picture is very early H1 with the front brake in the other side, no kawasaki on the ignition cover, grey side cover, black head light shelll and so on, have a picture of the first H1 came in Denmark on april 69 which is very similar.
I don't put the picture on the forum as I've sent it to Malc years ago for an article he wants to do about early H1 in club mag

Thats the answer you get when you cross a triple guru with a lawyer.
Excuse me, a French lawyer.

That I know about very very early H1s is there were plenty A1 A7 parts.
