Summary
This bike has been meticulously rebuilt from ground up by a passionate Collector and Restorer of Kawasaki Triples.
No expense has been spared on this rebuild. The bike Looks / Feels and Rides like a brand new H1F 500, in fact many of the components are better that the original bike ie (Powder coating vs Painting / Stainless Steel vs Zinc Plating, New Coils, Fully rebuild Stator etc).
The bikes Motor / Gearbox / Brakes Suspension etc are brand spankings new, apart from a few test rides around the block is as it rolled off the showroom floor 50 years ago, so there is NOTHING to do, but just enjoy this classic.
Every part has either been Powder coated, Re Chromed, repainted or replaced to bring her back to new.
The bike has been Tuned and Commissioned on local roads, and runs perfectly.
Comes with Owners Manual ( Brand New Reproduction ) and is Registered until July 2024 under "Club Rego"
