Orgasm :Q________

Not even a MACH III

MACH III ended in 72'

If you can get 110 mph out of this your lucky... and crazy, it handles like shit at that speed, dangerous.

Put a 12 tooth sprocket up front, not a s fast, but more fun... you don't need 1st gear.

[EthanK001]

mach 1? isnt it mach 3?

[Cully1231]

Awesome. Brings back many memories :O)

[ndhudecz]

500 sounding great,especially full throttle....Always wanted a K-500

[ndhudecz]

Cool,how fast. I remember when 500 first came out.

[twostrokeornill1]

@ndhudecz It did 113 mph with a little more to go.  Limited by gearing

[ndhudecz]

@twostrokeornill1 Cool,friend from grammar school had the K-500,I love the sound of those bikes at full throttle.113 mph is fast.I had my 1975 Honda 750 at 150 MPH,that's what it had on speed-o-meter.

[twostrokeornill1]

@ndhudecz Wow, When Honda CB 750's were tested, they topped out at 125 mph. Your 150mph CB must have been highly modified.

[ndhudecz]

@twostrokeornill1 it was,the guy I bought it from had put mufflers which gave it some extra horse power.My cousin and I went to Georgia going at 85 MPH AND IT WAS NOTHING TO GET TO 120 mph.120 mpg made me less nervous than 150 mph,that extra 30 I guess and at 150 the front was a little unstable.You're 500 should easily do 113 .I wish I had both the 750 and 500,oh well!!!

[seanhennessy]

@ndhudecz BOLLOX. These things were bloody death on wheels. Above 80mph they were deadly, shit brakes and bendy frame, at 120mph you were lucky to survive, slightest bump sent it into a massive speed wobble, there is NO FUCKING WAY you drove one of these at 150mph, I had both 500s and 750s and both of them were fucking deadly above 80mph. I simply DO NOT BELIEVE YOU.

[ndhudecz]

@seanhennessy I had a Honda 750 not a Kawasaki!!! Can you not read or comprehend what you read you numb skull.. I had a Honda,a Honda.YOU GET IT STUPID? A Honda,some people are retards..

[seanhennessy]

@ndhudecz Uhuhh...maybe your ritalin has worn off? better check with your nurse.

[KingCast65]

@seanhennessy What you said. I rode one of these at low speed so never got to have the "thrill" of the widowmaker at dangerous speeds. My RD350 was a good handler all the way up to its 90-100 mph top speed.

[twostrokeornill1]

@KingCast65 This bike went 117mph two months ago smooth as silk.The only time this bike gets stupid is when I let off the gas right before entering a fast turn.

[KingCast65]

@twostrokeornill1 Excellent! Glad to hear it. BTW you have probably seen this, but.... in case you have not, it is the BEST H Series video out here:

I ride a Triumph 955 now but here was the little 650R:

Been riding a long time... hopefully much longer too. Peace.

Complimenti, il motore mi sembra davvero perfetto. Ha un ottimo spunto e non manifesta esitazioni dopo i 5000 giri. Ottimo lavoro!!

[jeffmoto72]

I was thinking, I really don't like brown...but when you did the fly by...I forgot. Kawasaki lets the good times roll!

[twostrokeornill1]

@jeffmoto72 Be sure to catch part 2 for a symphony in C

[cashman156]

That is such a beautiful bike...thanks for sharing !!

[blackhat400]

Shurly you mean Mach3 ... Nice anyway ..

[erichisdead]

"does it start?" How about first kick.
