Been a Kawi guy since WAY back in '99 - when I got my '99 ZRX 1100 and became a motorcyclist. Before that, several Hondas back to my 1st bike a '73 CL125. But that's not the point. Got my '99 ZRX and learned about motorcycles. Still have the '99 w/ just over 50k on it, it's my count on bike. Added a '00 major modded and a ZX14 that never fit. Ran GREAT but just never felt right. Traded that for a C14. We'll see. BUT along the way I got a big want for a Kawi triple 2 stroke. Back when I was ridin' dad's 360 was the Big Bike. I had no clue. But now I do. And I've found a '74 Mach 3 H1 500 that needs some work. Now I've had 2 strokes! 125's and 250's. Little bit different. But - how many people today know the feeling of a 2 stroke coming on pipe?? Can't wait to get the Root Beer '74 back together an on the road. ANYways, thanks for letting me on here & I hope you don't mind me picking your brains getting this old bike to hummm. thanks JBoz Jboz@jboz.me www.jboz.me

Only photos I have are from the PO - I haven't picked up the bike yet. Still part number$%^ winter in CNY. Guy I'm getting it from is a longtime Kawi 2 stroke guy, III. Maybe some of you guys know him? Yep, it's a Rootie. Last edited by JBoz on Mon Mar 09, 2015 4:06 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Getting together down south at the Dragon or else where's going to have to wait until next year. Gonna blow my whole 4 weeks vacation this year at once & ride the Rockies & visit the west coast. Plan right now is me and a bud trucking bikes to somewhere east side of Rockies, riding 4 weeks & trucking home.

Gotta oil & seal 'em and check the valves. oil, tires, anti freeze, pull all brake pistons and clean, the whole 9 yards. Waiting for it to warm up a little bit more to get back at 'em. Took a set of ZRX tins over to my buddy Big Al to paint, just took a look at 'em this afternoon. Told him to have fun w/ 'em, not sure his fun & mine are the same but he's so dang proud of 'en I'm gonna run 'em.
