"A lovely example of Japanese mc technology from the 1960s and 1970s. A three-cylinder rig from his era, which was an adventure to drive."

Description

One of the most stylish machines of this period is the Kawasaki 500, here in a nicely renovated top condition. The Mc is sold new in Norway and renovated there about 15 years ago. The current owner came here in 2018 and registered it but does not have time to use it so it is sold to someone who wants to take over and care for a Japanese classic.

Facts about the model

Kawasaki H1 500 Mach III ”The Widowmaker”
Kawasakis tidiga 500 trippel blev världsberömd för sin acceleration, 12 sekunders repor på 402m strippen i standardutförande! Men den blev ökänd för sina dåliga vägegenskaper, egenskaper så dåliga att den blev känd som ”Änkemakaren” (The Widowmaker)
Ett av problemen med dom tidiga tripplarna (1968-1972) är tendensen att gå på bakhjulet, det är inte bara enkelt att få upp den på bakhjulet, den går på bakhjulet i motorvägsfart om du är oförsiktig! Det var den korta hjulbasen och den hysteriska effektkurvan i kombination med det lika hysteriska effekt/vikt förhållandet 60hk/188kg som gjorde den ”lynnig” att hantera.
Det är också dessa faktorer som gör dem så sällsynta i våra dagar eftersom många av dem kvaddades, dessutom var den rent mekaniskt långt från fulländad och många av dom nöp och skar på mittencylindern, faktorer som gör dem extra svåra att få tag på!

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
