70 Kawasaki triple?

I think the one on the right is a Kawasaki A1 Samurai or A7 Avenger. The one on the left is the Viper bike.

Had an oportunity to ride a KAW 750 once-hands down, absolutely, positively the scariest thing I EVER rode! It was like riding a Brahama Bull on acid you didn't drive it you sort of tried to herd it.
A couple weeks later I got to ride a YAMAHA rotary-smooth as old cogniac and linear acceleration that never tapered off or quit.

Kind of into triples. Before and after. Not a P51 but still a lot of fun.

Beautiful restoration work!!!! The drunken apes somewhat more manageable smaller brother. Have you taken it to the Snohomish bike show?

That 500 looks like a '75, Kaw's best year for paint schemes ever

[bgp429]

Haven't been to any shows. It is a 74. The colors in 74 did not appeal to me so painted it a 73 color. Did all the work myself except the crank rebuild, boring and chrome plating. To my knowledge it is the only one in my area, scarry fast.

How about this at Oshkosh a few years ago ...

I bet that little radial engine is one overheating son of a gun in that motorcycle application.

How often do you think that bike gets much above idle RPM?
