Introduction
Description
As the smallest of the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers, Kawasaki has often followed an independent racing path. Against the odds, Kawasaki persevered with two stroke triples during the 1970s, and pioneered a successful two-stroke tandem-twin.
Dave Simmonds’s 125cc World Championship in 1969 provided the impetus for Kawasaki to engage in more serious road racing. As a result Kawasaki produced some of the most exciting and charismatic racing machines ever in the H1-R, H2-R and KR750.
Later its world-beating KR250 and 350 won a multitude of World Championships.
At the same time Kawasaki won countless Endurance and Superbike championships with its four-cylinder four-strokes. These continue through until the present day and remain a force in World Superbike.
Here is the story of Kawasaki’s spectacular two and four-stroke road racers and the men who rode them.
