In 1969 Kawasaki introduced an exceptional sports bike, the H1 500 cc three cylinder, two stroke which was a true revolution for the 70s.
Beginning 1970 Kawasaki introduced a 500 competition bike originated from the famous H1, the H1R. This privateer race bike successfully participated in the world and national championships from 1970 to 1973. The H1R is a three cylinder two stroke air cooled bike with crossed exhaust, drum brakes and twin shocks.
In 1971 the H1R A was introduced, which can be distinguished by its straight exhaust pipes. Only some 50 H1R privateer bikes were sold worldwide which makes this bike particularly rare and researched. Many remained in the USA.
Several international racers were successful with the H1R (Findlay, Marsovsky, Léon, Duhamel, etc.)

The here presented Kawasaki H1R is an authentic H1R in original condition with it’s full history known. (It has to be pointed out that this is not a replica, which are mainly produced and available in Italy.)
The current owner has the bike for over 30 years.
Like on many H1R from 1972 (when the H2 was launched), the fork and front brakes are from a H2. The disc brakes were more performing and constant than the original drum brakes. The owner luckily kept the original fork and front brakes as delivered in 1971, which are available with the bike.
This H1R A was partially restored some years ago. (The rims and Koni shocks are no longer the originals). This great H1R is in perfect mechanic and overall condition.
This rare Kawasaki H1R A is visible upon appointment in Switzerland.
