This is my Kawasaki Mach III 500 H1E, in it's day the fastest production motorcycle in the world. I grew up admiring these bikes in the 70s and finally had the chance to own one. This bike is basically stock but has had a host of upgrades to enhance performance, handling and safety. The previous owner, an engineer and triple expert, did a superb job on the modifications, greatly improving the performance while maintaining a stock appearance.  The entire top end is new, with blended & matched ports, transmission backcut to shift like new, carbs rebuilt, Jessbikes forktubes, new bronze swingarm bushings, 520 chain with new sprockets in stock 15/45 gearing, BT-45 tires, 18" front rim, Ninja ZX250 front disc brake system, kevlar pads and stainless braided lines, new AGM battery and all lights, horn and electrics work properly. The seat is new and looks great, black Superbike bars give a more aggressive, but still stock look . Two sets of mirrors, set of carb jets and spare engine case are included. The bike starts easily, runs strong and sounds amazing. Nothing else in the world sounds like a 2-stroke triple! This H1 not only goes fast but stops hard and handles well in between. The bodywork was recently repainted in factory colors, though due to poor packing in shipment, has a dent at the rear of the tank near the seat. The stock triple exhaust pipes are in very good shape and all chrome is good to very good condition. It will draw attention and admiring comments in parking lots and at stoplights. This bike is a blast to ride and a real piece of motorcycle history.
