Kawasaki W1SA description
|
This classic Japanese motorcycle has very low mileage (12,300 miles /19,700 km) and is in excellent condition as can be seen from the photographs. It was imported into New Zealand from Japan approximately 8 years ago and has not been restored although some work has been completed to improve reliability and road worthiness. This includes new period Dunlop K70 tyres, Pazon electronic ignition and coils, and overhaul of the carburetors.
This model has the drum front brake which looks more 'period' than the later disc brake model, and the pads have very little wear. The chrome on the rims is flawless both inside and out, the tank has no dents and the paintwork is near flawless. The seat cover has a small tear at the front wear it adjoins the tank, and both the side cover and oil tank have had hand touch-ups to conceal paint damage. The handlebars aren't original, they're a more modern bend manufactured by Venturer. The mirrors are possibly after-market also, and the switchgear (certainly on the LH side) appears to be from a later model bike. The exact year of manufacture may be 1971, but KHI were unable to confirm this and so the local certifier for road registration made a determination that the model year is 1972. The Kawasaki W1 is based heavily on the post-war, pre-unit, 650cc vertical-twin BSA A7 design inherited from Meguro and features a 360 degree crankshaft which gives it that typical British twin exhaust note. The gearbox is pre-unit (very rare for a Japanese motorcycle) with 4-speeds, and has a cross-over gear change shaft through the swingarm pivot putting the shift lever on the LH side and reversing the shift pattern to up=up/down=down.
