Forty years in the past, game bikes didn’t have ABS or traction control or electronically managed suspension. They'd an excessive amount of strength, and that energy become regularly added with a thumping -stroke jolt. Kawasaki’s iconic H1 Mach III 500 is the conventional example, or even via the requirements of today’s bikes, it’s a fearsome beast: riders who survived the inevitable highside could shaggy dog story about the ‘double-hinged’ frame. The drum brakes have been no in shape for the fairly-tuned air-cooled triple, which can power the H1 down the sector mile in just 12.Four seconds and on to 2 hundred kph. The photographs proven here were taken to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the H1, and in this case, pix do indeed communicate one thousand words. So I’ll depart it at that. [Thanks to Scott Hopkin, Tom Stewart, Dimitri Michels and Raymond Moore of Optikal Blitz for helping in the search for definitive H1 images. See the full gallery on
