In 1970, the H1R was available worldwide as a limited production road racer.  The worldwide racing success of the H1R furthered the performance image of Kawasaki.  The H1R 500cc triple two-stroke engine claimed 80 hp @ 9,500 rpm.  During the 1970 Daytona road race, an H1R piloted by Ginger Molloy was clocked on the banking at an unheard of 159.83mph.
