Kawasaki emphatically established its enduring reputation for building high performance motorcycles with the launch of the stunning Mach III 500 in 1968. Light weight combined with a peakily-delivered 60bhp and indifferent handling made the two-stroke triple an exciting machine to ride, but one which nevertheless had the legs of just about everything under 650cc. In 1971 the original was joined by three more triples, the 750 H2, 250 S1 and 350 S2. The latter two machines were virtually identical, the S2 differing from its smaller sibling only in its larger bore and carburettors, and shorter wheelbase. Over-boring a 250 has always been the best way to make a quick 350, and the S2 did not disappoint with its 115mph top speed and 13.9-second standing quarter-mile. Equally importantly, the handling was much improved over the original Mach III’s. Built for three years only, the S2 was superseded by the 400cc S3 in 1973 and is a relative rarity today. Outrageous and uncompromising in their day, these characterful Kawasaki triples have become highly collectible in recent years. Professionally repainted in its original colour scheme by the vendors, this classic Kawasaki ‘stroker’ is offered with Swansea V5 registration document.
