Just had a look at the knackered old frame I bought a few months back & the VIN no is KR250B-000697
Thats all I can tell you about it as I do not have the V5. Is this the oldest so far?
The frame is c*** unfortunately.

as a rough rule...
from what I have seen of all the B chassis the engine numbers
(NZ sample of new and imported 29 (B) bikes ranging #626 to #3678 where the engine wasnt transplanted or incorrectly filed on VIN/rego)
...is that the engine numbers lag behind the chassis 500 units (on average)
so chassis B 813 had E 352
and chassis B 924 had E 520 and so on
so perhaps this indicates that chassis KR250B-000500 hand engine KR250BE000001?
I'M NOT DOUBTING CHASSIS KR250B-000001 to 000500 DOESNT EXIST,
- IT JUST DOESNT FOLLOW THE CHASSIS/ENGINE TREND,
(and the are large holes in the chassis ranges of the C models)
WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY WERE DOING ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE
IT DOES SEEM INCREDIBLE THAT THEY WOULDNT START A NEW MODEL RANGE AT CHASSIS #0001
...THAT IS WHY THIS THREAD EXISTS
the Kawasaki website lists chassis records for
KR250B-000001....0046 and 0049
The earliest import I know of in NZ is chassis B #626 where the engine number wasnt recorded.
My single info also suggests the rare Ebony/Metallic Zeus Blue (C1) models might be in the range KR250C-000500
What Saké were they drinking when they went to KR250C-300001 and not KR250D-000001 ?

KR1 Man calling. Is this the oldest Kr engine still in active service? Engine no 000073 is the one I stripped rebuilt and installed in Gonzohop's 'KR Porn Star' (see Projects/hmm maybe a bit of work needed) Best regards, KR1 Man.

Great thread this. Do you think its worth making it a forum "sticky" so its easier to find and hopefully get more contributions?
