It's not what you think it is at first.

I know, it's not the one you are looking for, but here is a modern version. http://images.ridemonkey.com/index.php?size=full&src=http%3A%2F%2F4.bp.blogspot.com%2F_vpzPBewsqWU%2FTLcbVi0cdpI%2FAAAAAAAAITI%2FFKgkZEmRfME%2Fs1600%2F3-wheeled-motorcycle-concept-for-future.JPG

Well, son of a *****. And I thought it would be really tough. How did you find it so quickly? Good show, ol' chap.

Good luck finding this one. Only a couple pictures that I can find.

You posted the correct picture but the bike is not a W650. It is a 2012 Kawasaki W800. http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/motorcycles/2012models/2012-Kawasaki-W800a.jpg

Do you folks have this in Oz? We don't.

Kinda pretty.

Wait! You show me a guess and I answer it correctly, then you switch pictures. That ain't fair.

I thought we had done this one already? MTT 420R http://www.brocksperformance.com/brocknm/articlefiles/13_1015_mtt_09.jpghttp://www.larevistaymas.com/48/Motos/02.jpg

Very expensive! Holy Cow. The most expensive one I have seen in the US has been around $10,000 for 1978. Bet you have never seen this belt buckle.

Were the Brits selling them as 1983s and 1984s or as 1980 Models? I know the Germans got what looked like a US 1978 Z1R, but it was called a 1979. There was also a German market Z1000S that looked like a 1978 Z1R but it had four pipes and no Z1R tag. http://img2.blogs.yahoo.co.jp/ybi/1/42/3c/nostalgic_showa/folder/1193482/img_1193482_34265825_2?1299745972

For the Aussies.

That graphic is incorrect, there was no 1977 Z1R. The first year of production was for model year 1978. Further, there was no 1979 Z1R in the US. The 1980 Z1R was substantially different from the 1978. Bigger tank, black paint, different exhaust, different engine. Like I said, I had a 1978: VIN KZT00D000735. Needed money, so I sold it to a kid who promptly rear ended a car and totaled it.

Yes, I know. Insanely easy. So be VERY specific and ACCURATE and find the SAME pic. That should add some difficulty. BTW: I owned one of these. Bought it new.

Anybody? :stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::rotf: http://www.2ri.de/Images/Big/0/Honda_CB1000_Big_One_1994_64979.jpg

Well, SHOOT, Steve. I had actually saved that model for my next guess! It's a 1992-1997 Honda CB1000. Super Four. Project Big One. http://img.webike.net/mm/newbike/301cb1000superfour-t2_1994/cb1000superfour-t2_1994.jpg

Not a thread locker, instead it is a gasket sealer. From Yamaha: "Yamabond 4 Motorsports is a silicone-based liquid gasket that fills gaps on a flange surface and prevents leaks. When cured, this product forms a rubber-like body that resists heat and seals joints subjected to high temperature. Gear- and engine-oil resistant, Yamabond 4 Motorsports sets in 60 minutes. Not for use on copper or copper-based alloys. Semi-drying liquid gasket seals joint surfaces with a tough elastic film. Tolerates heat, pressure and vibration. "

It will fit, but mighty expensive. Here's a much cheaper one, includes bolt: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1983-Yamaha-Venture-XVZ12-XVZ-1200-Y319-side-kick-stand-10740-/371030646593?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5663265f41&vxp=mtr Or here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1983-Yamaha-Venture-1200-OEM-Side-Stand-with-Pivot-Bolt-/201061522804?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ed0335d74&vxp=mtr Here's one but missing bolt: http://www.ebay.com/itm/84-Yamaha-XVZ-12-Venture-1200-Kickstand-Side-Stand-19F-/360875771982?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5405df484e&vxp=mtr Another: http://www.ebay.com/itm/83-YAMAHA-XVZ12-XVZ1200-VENTURE-KICK-SIDE-STAND-2222-/351013863361?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51ba0e7fc1&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/83-YAMAHA-XVZ12-XVZ1200-VENTURE-KICK-SIDE-STAND-5050-/331110171264?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d17b44280&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-Yamaha-Venture-1200-Royal-Kick-Stand-/121250206337?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c3b135281&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/90-Yamaha-Venture-Royale-XVZ1300-KICKSTAND-/191027831395?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c7a256263&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1984-YAMAHA-XVZ12-XVZ1200-XVZ-1200-VENTURE-KICKSTAND-KICK-STAND-/360811543280?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item54020b3af0&vxp=mtr Many more. And a lot cheaper than the one you found.

Patricia, here are some from an 1988: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1988-Yamaha-Venture-Royale-XVZ13-XVZ1300-Pair-of-Front-Brake-Rotors-/360874743201?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5405cf95a1&vxp=mtr From an '87: http://www.ebay.com/itm/87-YAMAHA-XVZ13-XVZ1300-VENTURE-ROTOR-FRONT-LEFT-BRAKE-28-/370744823187?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item56521d0d93&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1987-YAMAHA-XVZ13-XVZ-13-VENTURE-FRONT-BRAKE-ROTOR-DISKS-/230903738597?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c2ef70e5&vxp=mtr From an '89: http://www.ebay.com/itm/89-YAMAHA-XVZ1300-XVZ13-VENTURE-ROYALE-ROTOR-FRONT-RIGHT-BRAKE-25-/370712424525?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item56502eb04d&vxp=mtr From an '86: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-YAMAHA-VENTURE-ROYALE-RIGHT-FRONT-BRAKE-ROTOR-/300925986521?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item46109626d9&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/1986-YAMAHA-VENTURE-ROYALE-LEFT-FRONT-BRAKE-ROTOR-/300925986509?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item46109626cd&vxp=mtr Sorry, but they are all used. There was a pair of brand new OEM rotors on eBay some time back, but they didn't sell. Maybe the seller will repost.
