Overview

The Kawasaki Triples Bible covers the entire production of three cylinder two-strokes from 1967 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, plus personal memories from some of the racers and tuners who got the best from the fearsome H1 500 and H2 750 machines of the 60s and 70s, this is an invaluable resource for any collector or restorer of these fabulous motorcycles. With information provided by Kawasaki Museum, acknowledged experts such as Rick Brett and Dave Marsden, and lifelong Kawasaki triples owners, it defines the enduring appeal of the models. It also contains excellent tips on spares, tuning, rebuilds etc., and captures the very essence of what made the Kawasaki triples the most rebellious, kick-ass two-strokes of their time.

Editorials

From the Publisher

"An invaluable resource for any collector, restorer, or just a fan of these fabulous two-stroke motorcycles." – British Dealer News
 

"It's an excellent read and a guide to the entire background and history of these amazing machines that are now highly coveted by collectors and Triples fans. It was worth the wait!" – webbikeworld.com

 

"This personal intimacy stands out in the 160 pages of this hardback volume … with good use being made of period images and brochures, magazine covers as well as some nicely detailed modern shots of restored bikes, both static and in action. The excellent layout allows you to dip in and out of the book at will to research particular areas should you wish to use it as a reference work." – inter-bike.co.uk
