Description
The Kawasaki Triples Bible covers the entire production of three-cylinder two-strokes from 1968 to 1980, featuring a year-by-year breakdown of bike specs, including the KH250, 350 S2, KH400, H1 500, and H2 750 models.
Illustrated with hundreds of archive photographs and period adverts, the book features personal memories from those who raced the H1R 500 and H2R machines in Europe and the USA, as well as road riders who owned the triples back in the '70s. There are technical tips and advice from experienced Kawasaki triple enthusiasts and club members worldwide, plus information from some early dealers in the Kawasaki marque. The book also contains useful advice on spares availability, tuning, future market values, etc, and captures the essence of what made the Kawasaki triples the most rebellious, kick-ass two-strokes of their time.
