I saw the occasional 250 and 350 rotary valve Avenger twin but the H1 really put them on the map. You're right, they were popular.

I have only seen one, about 10 years ago in Vancouver. I thought it was a BSA until I got a close-up look at it. Before seeing that bike, my earliest memories of Kawasaki motorcycles were the 500cc Mach III 2 stroke triples (there were a lot of them around, back in the day). It's always interesting what you learn when you start digging into the history of these companies. Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085089656901860230noreply@blogger.com
