The 1978 Kawasaki KH 125 was created in an era when the Japanese factories dominated the ride-to-work market. Bikes like the Kawasaki KH 125 were meant to survive daily use, enjoy very little maintenance and return 65 mpg at a steady 88.5 Km (55 mph). Even a battered example can still get you home, eventually.
