God I had a Kawa 400 somthing back in the day (1990 I think) and oh my so bad I cant for the life of me remember exactly what it was <_< and trying to find some photos, but it was a great little bike. Was the first bike I ever did the Coro loop on (also back in the day).
Didnt look like the one posted in the pic though, but I remember it was a minter. Will try and find a photo

Looks a bit different to my cousin's. That one's got more of the "custom" style to it. Must have been a few different variants.

Would be a real cheap comuter. KZ440LTDs(Kawasakis Cruiser models) were one of the first bikes to have rubber belt final drives. The cooking model (kz440) has been known to lug sidecars to umentionable parts of this fair country of ours.
