KAWASAKI F7
MANUFACTURED 1971
175cc
The F7 175cc Dual Sport was built by Kawasaki from 1971 to 1976, and while the motorcycle could be mistaken for the 125, you couldn’t mistake the power the 175 had over its smaller brother.
Like all Kawasaki small bores of the time, the F7 utilized a rotary valve induction system, the only induction system on a two cycle motor not governed by atmospheric pressure, a true “timed” system. The rotary valve design gave the 175 quite a bit of power, and put the 175 into the ranks of 250cc dual sport bikes of the time, 21 horsepower at 7500 revs per minute.
And those weren’t “peaky” horses either, as the Kawasaki F7 could grunt with the best of them, and still rev out to a very respective seventy mph on top. Because of the enclosed carb, and the air filter opening under the seat, the F7 was almost amphibious, and could be driven through water crossings that would drown lesser machines. It also had Kawasaki’s CDI ignition system, that made points…err.. Pointless
with electric start it is a great fun bike for the older but still young at heart rider , can easily ride on single tracks and if you change the rear sprocket to a smaller one can reach dizzy heights of a 100MPH. QUITE RARE AND HARD TO FIND THE EARLY ONES !!
