Holy socks! Lane splitting at that speed??!?
Holy socks! Lane splitting at that speed??!?


Road a guys Kaw 350 2-stroke once. What a trip. Lucky for me, I'd been doing motocross on a 2 stroker and was used to a narrow power band. First gear I hit the throttle. No idea what RPMs when it came up on "the cam," but the front wheel came off the ground a couple feet. My dirt bike would do that so while I wasn't exactly prepared for it..... I just road it out, momentarily cut throttle to put wheel back down and got back on it.... this time leaning over the bars. Thing was quick for just a 350.I had a Kaw 400 2-stroke triple, and yes that was insane...
I was never that interested in the 750. Now.... the 500 2-cycle Triple. Kinda wanted one of those. Bike magazine would test it against 750's and 1000 Harley's. Don't think the 500 ever lost. Just as well I bought a 550 Honda instead. The Kawasaki would have killed me.This was the most vicious 2 stroke of all time 1973 750 Kawasaki. When i went to the dragstrips back in the day. There was a guy there that raced up against modified street cars. They couldn't hold a candle to this guy, he would just blow them away, wasn't even close.
