The climbers. 90, 120, 175, and
238cc's. Hill hungry rough-outs.
Cut their American teeth
in the Mojave. And Baja.
They all have light and tough
frames. Double cradle, tubular aircraft
steel. It’s like having two frames.
That’s important. They’re the safest
made, and they’ll take all kinds of
trail pounding.
The machines are designed by
aircraft engineers. Built to aircraft
type specs. By one of the world’s
biggest companies. One that knows
engines. Builds all kinds. From just
a few horses to a 28,000 horse ship’s
engine. That’s why we put two
strokers on most of our machines.
Rotary valve two strokers. Because
two strokes and the rotary valve give
you a lot more power. More
efficiency. Just what you're looking
for in the open country.
One of the machines, the 90, has
what we call the first “second
generation’’ rotary valve. New port
angles. Tremendous power.
Eats hills alive.
The 120 is a convertible. Goes from
a street to a trail machine with just
a flip of a lever. By hand. With two
separate sets of four forward gears.
The 175 is made for the boondocks.
Adjustable suspension takes the
brush, rocks and gullies in stride.
Has an easy change dual sprocket
and an electric starter. Among
other things.
And the 238cc, the Sidewinder is
sort of for afficionados. It looks
tough. And it is. Has a racing type
steel rotary valve. A big 28 mm carb.
And really wails.
Those are four of our credentials,
in brief. The mountaineers. Take one
for a ride. Kawasaki, 1062 McGaw
Avenue, Santa Ana, Calif. 92705.
