[@TheHemiphil81]

I love rainy Saturdays when i can watch motocross and kaplan videos all day..❤

[@pinabruno-grieve763]

Simply superb! I remember riding one when I was younger - it was bananas!

[@motordown7664]

Two stroke beauty. Amazing bike.

[@mtyhntr49]

Wow. I had a 69 500. We were running K81 Dunlop tires on them back in the '70's. Mine had specialist 2 chambers on it from Gary Shumack . What a time capsule.

[@sissygoog9456]

Ken that is a beautiful Kaplan Cycles God Bless America❤

[@sonnyseabury4051]

That is one gorgeous and sick vintage 2 stroker! My Dad had the 350 and 500. He was gonna get the 750, but he said they cornered horribly, and when it came to racing them, they were only good for racing in a straight line, so he didn't get one. He told me his 500 was fast, lots of fun, and was his favorite one!

[@wayno23]

Ripper motorcycle sounds wicked 👌 dream machine right right there.

[@andy5786]

H1500 Kawasaki classic beautiful Kaplan America thanks 👍🇬🇧

[@petersteen4014]

Remember: it's a 5-UP shift ! I owned 3 Kawasaki 'strokers' of the late 60's - a '67 Samurai, '68 Avenger and '71 H1A - they were NOT widow-makers, as an ignorant non-bike riding public would make out - 'just totally addictive and the best fun riding to your [often] un-natural limit; thanks' for the love, senior

[@LiquidAudio]

Yeah baby! I had a later disc brake 400 triple and even that thing was quick. It used to 'smoke' my buddy's XJ750 literally and in terms of speed!

[@colmcc-ij3nn]

The widow maker .2 stroke .I can smell it from here 😮😊

[@dantehall5526]

That is beautiful

[@michaeljkasnter]

Was stunned yesterday when I took it past 7,000-rpm for the first time!!! It has 90% of its power up top, absolutely incredible for a 56 year old bike

[@kevinpollard1550]

Its stunning .i hac a 250 in very similar colours

[@Dave-fw1xr]

Stunning

[@toolsixsixsix]

That's a badass scary bike!

[@michaeljkasnter]

I will definitely be riding it on Sundays, don’t worry it will be kept in climate controlled garage in South Florida, hopefully it will be passed down 30 years from now when iam dead!!! to someone else that will appreciate this beauty!!!

[@leefielding2126]

Absolutely beautiful ❤ 👍🏻🇭🇲😊

[@kentabeyta3018]

I want it !! Had a red 70 h1 and later a 74 h2..so fast wicked bikes 🏍️

[@hiramadair249]

Air hammer goodness!!!

[@aumkar2]

Sex machine. That thin line tank of the Kawasaki triples is perfection!

[@derekb2765]

Beautiful bike! I have a '69 too, but mine's not as nice as yours. Are the indicators correct on your bike? The indicators on mine are less pointy, and have an aluminium finish rather than chrome 🤔

[@jethrox827]

Stunningly original but I'd get triple chrome expansion chambers for her 👍

[@michaeljkasnter]

She finally arrives today!!! Aug-13th-2024!! I got that Christmas feeling from when I was 10 😂

[@KaplanCycles]

Congratulations brother that bike is the nicest one of its kind i ever seen,

[@sh1rty]

Glorious !

[@Scalihoo]

Bike's wild. 👌👌👌

[@shin-pad1052]

Absolutely stunning bike, I would love to visit your museum, from Shaun in Norwich 🇬🇧…

[@deanwaring6100]

Better than new ❤❤😊

[@wdhewson]

Like the sound of heavy canvass tearing when she's on the pipe !!!

[@RDEnduro]

I really like the electric ignition decal thats cool, CDI then in 1969?

[@Freimopp777]

They came with CDI, but in other markets only with points ignition

[@davidbranch1077]

I've seen a picture of a famous British actor and his girlfriend on one of these bikes. I've screenshot that picture, that's how I know these bike. Beautiful bike ❤💯👍

[@williamcrotts7054]

Foul any plugs? Sweet bike.

[@1sir-onworld]

[@michaelstainthorpe1569]

[@hurstshiftin9873]

Really nice!

[@vincentdavidson755]

The widow maker awsom ⚡

[@vincentdavidson755]

Cool

[@ralphcantrell3214]

That bike is almost too nice and rare to ride.

[@vincentdavidson755]

Awason only thing you have to now and then adjust the points unless it's been changed to a magnato

[@vincentdavidson755]

Points was the only draw back in those days and I'm not Shure you can find replacement points and condenser 🧝🏝️

[@earlmarsh2285]

my brother had one back in the day,

[@ianmangham4570]

🚀 😮

[@elcapitano1972]

🤤

[@billbright1755]

[@leonidtomnov8933]
