1969 Kawasaki H-1 - VIN: KAF03511 - Offered Without Reserve - Addendum: PLEASE NOTE: As previously indicated, this example is not one that all others will be judged against.In 1969, when Kawasaki introduced the H-1 it was like an atomic bomb going off in the motorcycle world. A completely out-of-the-box approach to motorcycling with three cylinders! Two-stroke! Electronic ignition! And the fastest production motorcycle of the year! Often nicknamed "The Widow Maker" because of its blinding acceleration and evil handling; it was also called “The Triple with a Ripple". Kawasaki had een experimenting with twins. They figured when they went to a triple, they would have to do a few things differently. Heat is the archenemy of two-strokes. They experimented and spaced the cylinders further apart. A large drum brake was fitted to the front but it was barely capable of slowing down the speed. Here is an opportunity to own a wonderful example of the coveted H-1. While unverified, the odometer reads just 1.7 miles. The bike presents as very original and is certainly an outstanding example.
