1975 Kawasaki H1F 500
1975
£6,500
The 1975 Kawasaki H1F 500 marked the final chapter in the H1’s legendary two-stroke lineage. Renowned for its lively performance and raw mechanical character, the H1 series became one of the most iconic names in 1970s motorcycling—loved for its aggressive powerband, unique sound, and lightweight handling. This example, now offered by TBR Classics, is a U.S. import showing 14,617 miles and remains largely original and unrestored, with just the right amount of character that reflects its age and individuality. We acquired the bike from a private collector in New York, where it had been well maintained and enjoyed.

Further Description
- History: recently imported from a collector in New York not much else known.
- The frame still wears its original paint, which remains in good condition, and the engine runs perfectly, delivering the sharp, unmistakable response these triples are known for. The paintwork has been refinished previously, with a touch-up visible on the right side of the tank, but still presents well in the correct Candy Brown finish. It’s fitted with a Denco exhaust system, which offers a fantastic period-correct look and delivers a thrilling two-stroke sound. The bike also features aftermarket air filters, contributing to its distinctive tone and character. Most of the chrome and trim are original and in good condition, with some tarnishing visible on the rear grab rail. The bike is currently unregistered, but stands as a great candidate for road use or further light restoration. All round, this is a well-preserved, great-sounding H1F with loads of presence and personality—ideal for the enthusiast who values originality and that unmistakable Kawasaki two-stroke experience.
