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 Kawasaki name in the early sixties, initially continuing the development of the K1, a BSA A10 copy but soon moving on to build a reputation for high performance 2 stroke twins and triples. The H1 500cc triple was launched in 1969 and immediately earned a fearsome reputation for its wild power delivery and equally wild handling.
This 1971 H1A finished in the classic metallic blue colour scheme and still sporting its original 3 into 3 chrome exhaust has been part of a private collection of Kawasaki triples for a few years. Restored to a very high standard and keeping a good degree of originality it has not been run for about 4 years but the bike has regularly turned over and has good compression so will need recommissioning before use. The vendor is only selling to rationalise his collection and make a bit of space and it comes supplied with a current V5C.
