Kawasaki announced a new, performance two stroke during September 1968. Typed the 500 SS, H1 or Mach III the new machine was powered by a three cylinder engine with automatic oil injection, CDI ignition and a five speed gearbox producing a claimed 60 bhp This was housed in a lightweight duplex cradle frame fitted with pivoted fork rear suspension and telescopic front forks. The new model transformed the worlds perception of Kawasaki motorcycles, establishing them as a manufacturer of "hard edged" performance machinery.
The example offered dates from 1972 and thus benefits from the later disc brake. The Kawasaki was restored to a good standard around 8 years ago and was used for many shows and events when it was first completed. Purchased by the current owner for his collection of machines, showing signs of wear and tear but in good overall condition. It is offered with a Swansea V5C described as being in good condition, but will need some light recommissioning before use. Please note there is some slight damage to to transfer on the tank and the front mudguard, that was done in transit, as pictured at the end.
