Kawasaki ZN1300 ZX1000 On An Envelope

What does your correspondence look like when you are one of the coolest companies on earth? Maybe something like this.

A Voyager 1300 on the front.



And a 1986 ZX1000-A1 Ninja 1000R full size on the back.



Some people save stamps but I thought this envelope was worth saving. How many of these are still around? Google doesn't find any. Measures an ample 9x12 which can hold a regular sized brochure without folding it. Maybe they used some for this purpose?

Anyway, I thought maybe people had not seen this before.

Kawasaki ATV Chronology 1981 - 1992 (USA)

Kawasaki ATV Chronology 1981 - 1992 (USA) plus Bonus

Here is an item that may be found useful or interesting or both. The Kawasaki ATV Chronology chart. I especially wanted to post this just in case someone was wondering what year the KLT200-A4A Duckster or KLT250-P1 Police were offered.



BONUS: From the Kawasaki marketing department, giving dealers something to be proud of, a pair of Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4 ATVs were provided and modified to be used in a major motion picture. 2000s Mission to Mars starred Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins, Don Cheadle, Connie Nielsen, Jerry O'Connell, and Kim Delaney. According to Wikipedia it took in more money than the budget so we'll call that a success.



If you are mainly intrigued by mention of the Duckster or the Police 3-wheeler, I am working on those topics for future posts. I already have the brochures for the Police trike but the Duckster... not so much. If someone has a brochure or pictures of an 'original' Duckster and wants to submit copies of them that would be greatly appreciated. Until then...

Thanks for looking. Gary  /  kawasaki-yama-zuki
