Beautiful frame. I had a bike shop in Australia when these Kawasaki's were new. Ahh memories, I even had a full head of hair.

[@goran2003]

Hi Geoff ... do you maybe have something like this somewhere in the barn?

[@borneobudi3431]

Haha the 70's

[@olivertoeknuckleiii2093]

The cackle and roar from the Kawi triples still rings in my head after 40 years. I would hear these things singing in the night when I was a child, and I dreamed of the day I would own one myself. And I did. Wish I still had it. Nothing makes me tingle like the cackle of a triple with killer pipes.

[@goran2003]

Any option to buy Kawa triple again?

[@HegelsOwl]

Please shut-up. You're making my heart ache!

[@douggreen9433]

Mr Toeknuckle lll you took the words right out my mouth. As a child I remember hearing bikes screaming and howling at night. 60yrs old now and have a garage full of screamers and howlers. My pride and joy is a beautiful RD350LC with Microns.

Rickman made some beautiful frames, from dirt bikes to the race track.

[@Bitterstone3849]

Nickel plated.

[@RickGTI2019]

When I and my friends were riding English bikes the two stroke triple came out. We all laughed about the ring ding ding sounds it made. Until it left us in the dust ! Ahh the good old days ! 🏍 thanks, RickGTI….. 🌴

[@michaelvollmer9491]

That were the days when I got my driving license for big bikes❤. Race bikes were 2 stroke, a long time before 4 stroke engines have had the same power out of the same volume. Suzuki GT‘s, Yamaha RD‘s, those were the good old days of my teenage time. Thanks for bringing back memories 👍🇩🇪😎

[@goran2003]

Hi Michael ... I'm glad you like it. Enjoy. BTW ... feel free to dig deeper in my YT channel ... tons of classics inside :-)

You can't get the same power from a 4 stroke.

@@Shanidar1 True!

[@Shanidar1]

@@goran2003Some people don't get that it was the EPA that killed the 2 stroke, not lack of performance.

Hey!! My H1 didn't look like that! Thanks a lot, Rickman! 😂 Gorgeous Bike! I didn't realize Rickman made a chassis for the H1. Or maybe I forgot. I remember Rickman dirt bike frames with Sachs engines, I think.

[@keithdawson4804]

From the mid-70s Rickman made frames for the Honda 750 and Kawasaki 900 fours road bikes, with single and dual-seat options. I didn't know about these road racer frames.

They look like 3 centre cylinder barrels, are they? or are they 3rd party barrels? I trust that it handles a LOT better than the original frame.

Don't know the details about cylinders ... but yes, from what i saw, handles waaay better.
