And... another one sold there with "backwards" KAWASAKI decals applied on the fuel tank!    If one has the decals applied correctly, it has to be worth at least $5000 more!

Wow that is crazy money. It looks immaculate but not even 100% all there/original and even a novice admirer like myself can see that. As far as the big money RZ350's go it's funny how I viewed a few recently on FB Marketplace just a month or so ago that were in great shape for far more resonable prices 6k to 8k I guess based on Mecum values I should've just scoffed em up...but whats up with Mecum prices anyways? Whose driving that market?...more money than sense. You got that right

Your buddies private collection is better than those in my opinion. Hey I did notice a 72 H2 750 on Ebay earlier today with a "buy it now" or 17,500$.It's got original paint but the most interesting thing about it is a nearly 100% matching numbers bike. Engine and Frame numbers are only one digit off, thought that was kinda cool.

Kawasaki did not use the same number for frame and engine in that era.

That's right they didn't which makes it being a pretty ironically cool thing that it's only one digit off from being the same. At least that's what I thought when I looked at the pics pointing it out and then I read it in the seller's description so yeah the seller wanted to capitalize on that. FWIW though that bike is a way better deal than that Mecum H2 selling for 55k and still too much money for me to spend on a bike. Heck that Ebay seller outta rethink his ad and cancel it so he can sign up with a Mecum auction for the big bucks!
