Kawasaki Other description

REASON FOR SALE: my wife died suddenly 4 months ago and I need to get in money, if not I would not be selling this bike, this was my favorite and is the last one from my collection to go

1971 Kawasaki H1A
I have owned this one since 2009.

Bodywork painted to stock color by Paul Miller Suzuki, CT.
Decals by Rick Brett
Clear Coat by Long Island Russ

Cylinders rebored and very mild port job by Paul Gast and Wiseco Pistons fitted.
The ports have not been changed much, just cleaned up, I believe he referred to it as being Blue Printed.

It has no air canister, instead one big open K&N filter and both the pilot and main jets increased to match. (I thought this was a good idea at the time but now I am not so sure and if I continued to own and ride this bike I would try fitting the stock canister and filter and jetting, just as an experiment to see which works best.)

The front brake has been upgraded by having modern material fitted to the shoes, a custom low friction cable with no stop switch made by Barnett. The brake was adjusted professionally by Yukio Hamasaki (one of the best two stroke mechanics in the New York area). I think it works about as well as one of those brakes could do and likely better than when it was new.

Ignition system replaced by a Lakeland system.

New Reproduction wiring harness fitted.

Ballistic battery

Barnett Clutch Springs

Exhaust System, Headlamp, Rear Axle & Fittings re-chromed

This is not a show bike, it is a very nice stock looking bike, I rode it a lot and it proved to be a fast, fun and reliable rider.

At some point in its' life, the frame broke and it was fitted with a 1970 frame, which is the same as a 1971. This means the registration document reads 1970 but all of the other parts are from a 1971. This never bothered me but I know it does bother some people so I thought I should mention it.

It has a small oil leak from behind the front sprocket, I never worried about this as it is a very small leak, if ridden on a daily basis the leak would be unnoticeable, if the bike is left for the winter there will be a small pool of oil that will collect. All I did was keep an eye on the oil level and top it up about twice a year.

As far as I am aware there are no problems with this bike, please ask me if you have any questions.

Kawasaki EV Prototype Revealed at Intermot

Tue, 04 Oct 2022

Electric naked Z prototype to form basis for production model Kawasaki presented an electric prototype at Intermot, providing a glimpse of what an eventual production model may look like. The EV prototype was part of a wide-ranging speech from Masaya Tsuruno, managing director of Kawasaki Motors Europe, discussing the company’s approach to reaching carbon neutrality. Tsuruno did not provide much technical information about the EV prototype, though he did stress that the prototype will form the basis of a production machine.

This remarkable shot of Eddie Lawson is taken by Rich Chenet. It was August 1980 and Lawson was undergoing a titanic scrap for the AMA title with Wes Cooley and Freddie Spencer here at Pocono Raceway in Philladelphia. The circuit is known as the 'Tricky Triangle' amongst the NASCAR drivers but the superbikes used a mix of infield and sections of the banked circuit.

Reducing the seat height without lowering expectations Credit: Photos by Kevin Wing Entry level dual-sport has for a very long time existed in the void between categories, particularly when you consider folks who are shorter in the inseam. We all need to start somewhere, but for most who did not grow up riding, or maybe started exclusively on street motorcycles, the reality is that the entry-level engine size is often combined with the inability to comfortably touch the ground at a stop. That’s enough to deter all but the most stubborn of vertically challenged riders.
