Kawasaki S2A 1973

£7995

A lovely example of Kawasaki’s S2A from 1973! Great colour scheme complete with the that ‘rip saw; sound only a Kawasaki triple can make! Being the A model its an American import brought over from Pennsylvania in 2015. There is a nice collection of paperwork, most notable a full engine rebuild by the Triples Workshop back in 2017 and covering minimal mileage since it is ready to go for the new owner!

In 1971 Kawasaki’s original Mach III 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importantly, the handling was much improved over the original Mach III’s. Built for three years only, the S2 was superseded by the 400cc S3 in 1973 and is a relative rarity today.
