Hi E.i.t.O.-
Kawasaki motorcycles of all vintages are very popular with dragracers. While I'm more of a Honda fan myself for streetbikes/sportbikes, I do acknowledge that Kawasaki builds bulletproof engines.

It was the fastest thing I'd ever been around, quicker in a city block than the Kawasaki 900 that was introduced in 72. Curiously, the 70 and 71 500s had CDI but my 72 had three sets of points. In 73, they want back to electronic ignition.
The front end would develop a wobble when I put it in a big right hand sweeper at 65 or 70. I didn't know if I should speed up or slow down when this virus attacked. I got rid of the damned thing before it nearly killed me and picked up the used Norton which I kept around until about 1992. For all its odd mannerisms, it was a dependable machine.

btw, I'm a Honda owner now. Last summer, we bought a 26 foot Play Craft pontoon boat with a 225 V-6 Honda outboard motor. This is where I do my recreating these days; on the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. The rig has three pontoons and will do 55 mph. There is seating for 15.
