I remember back in the mid 80's Kawasaki World on High Street West Sunderland was in a building that had been a department store and had a large basement area which was closed to the public ,we got there as it was one of our tea spots and in the basement alongside some bizarre Christmas grotto displays were a few older Kawasaki's including a Samurai and an Avenger and if my memory serves me right some early triples.
Assumed they belonged to Dave (who now has Triumph Newcastle) , wonder if he still owns them ?
About the same time there was an old shop not far from the nick on Silksworth Row that had been a Suzuki dealership in the late 60's and early 70's and when the old guy died and it was cleared there were allegedly a number of smaller capacity bikes stored still in crates
