1972: The Mach IV 750

In 1972 Kawasaki unveiled the amazing looking Mach IV 750 in two colours, Candy Blue or Candy Gold, although only the blue option officially made it to the UK.

After the success of the H1, Kawasaki decided that bigger was better and produced the ultimate stroker. With 74hp, a top speed of 126 mph and fantastic acceleration, the H2 would lift the front wheel without even trying.

The H1 received updated graphics to mimic the H2 and two smaller triples, the S1 250 and S2 350 were released with the same futuristic styling.

1973 saw mainly cosmetic updates for the 750, now available in Gold or Purple. The 250 and 350 were re-styled and lost the good looks of the H2 , but the S2 did receive a disc brake.
