Kawasaki MT1

Intro

Kawasaki's Mini Trail featured a 75cc two-stroke engine with 4 horsepower at 6,500 rpm. Other features like an automatic clutch with three-speed transmission made the MT1 appealing to the beginning rider. Easy transportation was important for this model, which is why it featured fold down handlebars allowing this bike to fit in the trunk of a car. The MT1 was marketed with the help of legendary race car driver Parnelli Jones. The model designation of the MT1 was later changed to the KV75A.
