The Kawasaki Triples were a range of 250 to 750
cc motorcycles made by Kawasaki. The engine were air cooled, three cylinders,
and piston controlled inlet port two strokes with two exhaust pipes exiting on
the right side of the bike, and one on the left. It was the first production
street motorcycle with capacitor discharge ignition (CDI). Right from the first
triple model, it was a sales success that gained a reputation for almost
unmatched acceleration as well as an air of danger of inexperienced riders
trying to copy with the bike’s increased power to weight ratio over any
previously available stock motorcycles.
