In 1969, when Kawasaki introduced the H-1 it was like an atomic bomb going off in the motorcycle world. 1969 Kawasaki bikes became a complete out-of the- box approach to motorcycling with three cylinders, two-stroke, electronic ignition, and the fastest production motorcycle of the year! Because of its blinding acceleration and evil handling, it had multiple nick names: “The Widow Maker” and “The Triple with a Ripple”. Kawasaki figured when they went to a triple, they would have to do a few things differently. Heat is the archenemy of two-strokes so 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 original and is certainly an outstanding example of a dream bike!
