Kawasaki Triples Club

yup, started the 350 today, still ringing wet on roads, with look to ride over to Higgsy, but since i just poilshed it before put it away, decided didnt want to de-salt it again when i got back,.. and all friggin batteries flat again,...

except the gel,

winter runout of my french 2 stroke club, were six 350 S2A(mine), 350 Motobecane, 750 GT 77, 350 4L0, 500 LC, 350 1WT.
some rain but not really cold around 100 muiles, pictures soon.

i was out today too. i was gaggin for it as i have been so friggin bored with the snow

I was having a nice ride out on my own....


....... till i met up with a couple of the bandit crew from blackppol. Dangerous Rob and Batesy




i rode home with them from Caton over a wet quernmore (local rural racetrack!!) and gave the kettle a good thrashing. It held up well considering. The damp conditions slowed the boys down a bit but i managed to stay with rob all the way home.
Oh my poor old kettle!!
the only downside of the day is 4 hours riding and 2 hours washing cleaning and drying.

still it was GREAT to get out on a bike :smt023

VJ2T vieilles japonaises 2 temps (old japanses two stroke) winter runout

350 Motobecane, not genuine paint

we were near a road on which there were road hilll climbing races on the 50 to 70s Avernes, of course we do a race on it , finish second after the RD 500 LC

would be interesting to know the performance between motobecane 350 and s2 and i wonder if they sound the same?

we know: the S2 outperforms the poor thing
and the Motobecane sounds more like Honda 400 NSR triple

Bloody right too! Cant see any triples though

I would love to here what a Motobecane Triple sounds like?

I have this feeling it will sound like 3 CZ 250 long stroke 2 stroke motors

JP You will have to get one of your Johnny Forigners buddies to ride one over to this years Southern rally they would be more than welcome mate

This Blue one looks good in 72 H2 graphics ha ha

Not sure about the upside down horn...... but those two smoking barrels are on the wrong side

P.S Did they sell many & how many years did they make them for ??

Motobecane built under Motobecane or Motoconfort names 800 350 triples but they didn't sell all of them at this time, on sell from 73 to 76.
780 were yellow, 20 were red.
They built also a few, less than 10, 350 with injection on yellow or green.
Four exhausts like a Suzuki triple.
try to get an owner for a rally but difficult.

Wow Mate Fantastic thank you. Have kept it in favorites.

Got to say it aint half as pretty as the Kawasaki Triples, although the blue racing version looks sweet & the one in Kawasaki racing lime green too. The yellow bike looks quite nice

Those wheels look like the A.R.E ones that Kawasaki fitted on the road bikes?
