I remember in high school in the late seventy's, a gas station near my home had an H1 for sale. I had the cash but my mom just looked at me like I was INSANE. I was, obviously. A teenage brain, arteries full of testosterone, and a poorly handling bike with lousy brakes and a 6:1 weight to power ratio. :shock: What could possibly go wrong? :shock:

Mike,
My first bike was actually a 1972 Kawasaki 90. It had the same styling and DNA of the 500! :D

Rotary valve induction and could easily do 70mph - which was, and still is, impressive for a 90cc bike. I remember that I put a tuned pipe and bigger rear sprocket for more acceleration. No one in high school could touch me! Except for my pal with the Kawasaki 250 enduro :shock:
