1976 Kawasaki KR250

The KR series were very successful Grand Prix motorcycles that dominated the 250 class, winning the World Championships five times from 1978 to 1983, when Kawasaki discontinued racing the 250/350cc machines to concentrate on the 500/750 classes. A 350cc version of this in-line twin also captured four World Championships. The inline or tandem engine design gives a narrow width that increases cornering clearance and reduces frontal area.
