I think it's great that you still have it in your garage.

This is not the exact first bike i owned, but one just like it.  Honda 50 minitrail.   That was ~43 years ago ..  man does time fly when you are having fun.   :drink:

I believe the blue bike is a 1971. Kawasaki produced one color per year on the 500 Mach III 1969 white, 1970 Red, 1971 Blue, 1972 Orange, 1973 Green.
The 1971 500 MACH III had a CDI ignition three cylinder two stroke and produced 60 horse power at 7500 rpm. 1/4 mile et of 12.4 top speed 124 mph. It was the fastest production motorcycle made until the 750 HII came out in  1972.


Yeah, I am sure u r right,the first one was used and it was blue and the title called it a 1969??? But then, when I think about it, back then it might have been anything, Jap motorcycle titles were all over with all of the crashed ones....?? I'm just sayin.... It has been a long time ago too :nixweiss:
Yeah I test road a 750, crashed it in front of the M/C shop......  :-\ :oops:
I also remember how poorly they stopped and how poorly they went around corners... Stop light racing was always stupid fun. I am so lucky that I am still here....

If you have a link like above, you can add [IMG) (/IMG]http://tags around it to show inline.  Use ] in place of where I put ).  Also on an IPad from time to time and never realized that either.


Thanks for the tip!!
I wonder why the that choose file button is dimmed when on IPAD?

Nice bikes, lots of old memories. Went downstairs and took a pic of mine. 1972 250 Hustler---24,000 miles--all mine. Bought it new.  Thinking of selling it though.
