Difference between revisions of "Kawasaki W1"

The '''[[Kawasaki]] W1''' series were the largest displacement Japanese motorcycles available in the mid 1960s.  The W1 soon gave way to the twin carbureted [[Kawasaki W2|W2]] models in an attempt to break into the expanding American market.  In 1968 the W2TT Scrambler and the W2SS Commander models also became available.  The W2 engined used a 4-speed non-unit transmission overhead valve, which produced 50 horsepower @ 6,500 rpm.
