alfalfa Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Firstly lets get the formalities out of the way - AGMC: we have cooler bikes than you. Picked this little ripper up last night with the help of fellow Gentleman, Rookie. 1971 Kawasaki A7 B Avenger 350cc 2-stroke parallel twin! Rotary disc inlet valve! Supposedly 40hp from the factory, 13.8s 1/4 mile Anyway, pictures. I'll take some more of my own in scenic CNI locations when I can. Plans are to get it registered, WOF'd and onto the LAMS list so I can enjoy some (legal) classic motorcycling. Intend to leave it pretty close to standard for the time being, but will probably hit it with the cafe stick at some point. Old-mate-previous-owner was the High-Lord-King of vintage japanese 2-strokes. He had a few early RDs, an H1 & H2, another A7 SS, KR250, full Kenny Roberts RD350 replica build and some more that I can't even remember. Plus a 328 and a MKII (both of the exotic car variety). Ultimate piner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
