Did Kawasaki ever produce the 75 S3 in the purple color, as on the H2?

Just looked at one that is purple, original paint, the guy says RB has one. If so it is really cool

Maybe RB can chime in. I don't understand how this thing can have original paint, which it is, and not be for this bike? An H2 tank wouldn,t fit

Right, but it was a different scheme. This looks like a H2C, in mini version, and it is a 75

Well, I couldn't take it anymore, I called the guy, and went to look at it again, after some deep searching with a flashlight, I found a trace of the original color. It was a green bike, to which he had this phony look of disbelief. Still too much at $4K

I had a new green one that year and the paint faded bad in a few weeks.
The dealer switched the tins to red and no problem.
