Kawasaki H1 500 F Mach III description

1974 Kawasaki H1 F in amazing, fairly original condition. 7010 original miles! Starts easy, runs great, shifts through all the gears easy with a strong clutch.

Purchased from the original owner by a collector quite recently and now offered for sale. The bike had been stored indoors for some 24 years. Always a California bike, it resided unused in the high desert area of the Lancaster/Bakersfield metropolis.

Apart from the notations above concerning damaged or missing parts the bike is pretty much all there and rides well. It still had some 24 year old gas in the tank but despite this the carb bowls look like new. Inside the gas tank are signs of light rust and some old gas residue. Most of this cleaned up with a single over night treatment of 'Evapo Rust'. An amazing product. An inner coating of the gas tank would probably be advisable if the bike were intended for long term use. Plugs were changed, oils were renewed and she fires right up using a remote gas tank containing a 'safety first' pre-mix of 80:1. The oil injector pump works well though. Bike idles happily, if a little off kilter due to the one missing baffle. Runs strong and sounds as good as these bikes always did. Amazing machines.

As noted above, the title was lost long ago by the original owner. The bike is out of the CA DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle) system so should be a straight forward process to re-title in the new owners name. I have a bill of sale signed by the original owner to facilitate that process.

I apoligize in advance as I may not be able to reply to questions from the afternoon of Tuesday June 14th until the morning of Saturday June 18th. I'll be on a trip to an area that has no cell service. That's the reason I chose to make this a 10 day auction. Thank you.

ZX-10R inspired by JPS Lotus?

Tue, 10 Jul 2012

Spotted on Kawasaki's Facebook page, this 'Limited Edition' ZX-10R has been created by none other than double-F1 World Champ Emerson Fittipaldi, who is - amongst other things - a Kawasaki dealer in Brazil and who also happened to win his first World Championship in 1972 in a JPS Lotus that had a very similar colour scheme. Fittipaldi started his motorsport career on a motorcycle, aged just 14, before heading to hydrofoils (surely no-one else at world level has ever raced these?!) and then the more traditional route of karting. Question is: what do you think to the paintjob?

The name Matt Cuddy should need no introduction to Motorcycle.com readers. Not only does he have more than 5,000 posts on our forum, he’s also written dirt bike tests for us, including the 2010 and 2011 Kawasaki KX450F reviews. Making this accomplishment more noteworthy is the fact that Matt is a paraplegic – he was hit by a car several years ago while riding his motorcycle.
