Yes it was...... In 1977 I walked into a Kawasaki dealership in Buena Park, California wanting to buy a KZ400. The salesman talked me into the KH and that was that lol. The sad part was the salesman didn't even care if I could ride or even had a licence. I remember trying to leave the dealership and kept stalling the bike......... and the salesman just standing there saying....... you'll get the hang of it. I'm fortunate I picked up riding pretty quickly and never killed myself on it. I look back now and think the salesmen need to be held accountable somehow. Nowadays, any young kid with no motorcycle riding experience can walk into a dealership with 10 to 13 thousand and ride out with a bullet between their legs....... just ain't right.
