I'm an eighteen year old high school student from New England, and here's my current bike. I've had a few others but this is the only one worth keeping. My father owned a KH400 back in the day and his stories convinced me that they are awesome bikes.

1975 Kawasaki H1 500 Triple. Two-stroke beast, three cylinders. Pretty fast, scares me to think of what the 750 can do. Not original paint but it looks pretty good regardless. More reliable than the Buell Blast I used to own, fifteen miles per gallon but I wouldn't ever give it up. Most fun bike I'll ever ride.

Welcome to the forums!

Thats a pretty cool ride you got there. Those 2 smokers sure can be a lot of fun on the street. Try to keep that front wheel down on the ground and have fun.

I love the Kawi Triples! Awesome bikes! Actually the 500 was more fierce than the 750. The 750 was faster but more tame if that makes any sense.

The 2-smoke Triple is one of the most awesome sounding bikes ever built. A loud triple going through the gears at full throttle will make the hair in the back of you neck stand up! Nothing sounds like it! Well maybe a giant killer chainsaw on steroids!

Oh my GAWD!!! The original widow maker... I had a '71 H1 as my first bike, it had to be the nastiest bastrd on two wheels. That thing would go like stink unless of course you wanted it to corner, then all hell could and would break loose on a regular basis. Take care and enjoy your ride...
