Kawasaki Heavy Industries is one of the largest corporations in Japan producing a wide range of products from rolling stock to ships. After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawaski name in the early sixties, initially continuing the development of K1 BSA A10 copy but soon moving on to build a reputation for high performance 2 stroke twins and triples. Like most of the Japanese manufacturers, they launched a range of smaller capacity Trail bikes in the 1970s to satisfy demand, especially from the USA, for dual purpose on and off-road models to compete with the likes of the Yamaha Dts and Suzuki TSs.

This beautifully presented F7 175cc trail bike has been imported from the USA and is now UK registered on a V5C. The bike has been restored to a very high standard keeping a good degree of originality, it looks like it has just left the factory and started and ran well when being photographed. The engine has been overhauled including a new con rod, piston and rings, main bearings reassembled with new gaskets. A rare model in the UK, this lightweight and easy to kickstart Kawasaki F7 will make a great bike for summer runs and rallies and is offered with a current V5C.
