WE KNOW SUSPENSION ...We build them both!
Kawasaki engineered and built the world’s fastest train —the
Hikari Limited Express. Traveling at speeds of 130.2 miles per
hour with 1,407 passengers on board requires a precision-
balanced suspension system. This is the kind of engineering
know-how that created the suspension system for the all new 250E.
Here’s what precision engineering means to you —a completely
TUNABLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM!
This means you can adjust for motocross or TT racing, hard
cross-country riding, or flying along the highway.
HATTA "TUNABLE” FORKS — Rugged, hydraulic with com-
plete adjustability. Spring tension can be adjusted with a simple
twist of a screwdriver—rig.d for cross-country, intermediate or
soft for street or highway, 3 full inches of height adjustment.
3-way adjustable fork rake and trail.
5-WAY ADJUSTABLE REAR SHOCKS-Rapidly adjustable for
any riding condition.
DOUBLE-LOOP AIRCRAFT TYPE FRAME —The double tubes
provide a high degree of rigidity without increasing the weight
factor. Far superior to single tube type. Big beefy gussets at all
stress points.
ADJUSTABLE FOOT PEGS FOR PROPER WEIGHT DISTRIBU-
TION. Foot pegs can be adjusted up or down, forward or back,
to distribute weight where the rider wants it. Foot shift and foot
brake can be installed on either side.
SINGLE CYLINDER, ROTARY DISC VALVE 250cc ENGINE-
24.5 hp at 6,800 rpm. Tremendous low-end torque. We call the
250E our ‘‘Secret Weapon for ’71.”
