The Kawasaki F7 was a 175cc dual-purpose motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki from 1971 through 1975. It was the larger brother of the Kawasaki F6 125cc and had the general overall appearance of the Kawasaki F4 and Kawasaki F5. It was a very good Enduro motorcycle with its higher horsepower for its class, enclosed carburetor to keep out dirt and water and sufficient ground clearance.
Basically the F7 was a twin of the 125cc Kawasaki F6 in that they shared the same frame, lighting, instruments, seat, fenders, air filter, and engine case. It differed from the F6 in displacement and had an aluminum cylinder head, CDI ignition system, lower fender flap, and the inclusion of Hatta forks.
