Moto Kawasaki: libri - storia e modelli

Kawasaki 500 Mach III - 250, 350 e 400

Pochi modelli hanno saputo entrare di prepotenza nella storia delle due ruote come la Kawasaki 500. Nata nel 1969, insieme alla Honda 750, dà origine con la rivale Four al "big bang" delle maxi moto degli anni Settanta. E la Mach III lo fa a maggior ragione dato che grossa cilindrata non è ma va come se lo fosse, stracciando in accelerazione anche moto di cilindrata doppia, grazie al suo potentissimo motore a tre cilindri e 2 tempi, configurazione sino a quel momento propria solo delle moto da Gran Premio. Se il propulsore si rivela quindi una botte di dinamite, non si può certo dire altrettanto della ciclistica, che fatica ad imbrigliare tutta quella cavalleria.

Dopo la Honda 750 Four, una monografia sulla Mach III non poteva certo mancare nella collana Le moto che hanno fatto la storia, nello specifico, la storia di un autentico mito, sognata dagli sportivi di allora come dai collezionisti di oggi che fanno carte false pur di possederne una nel proprio garage.

Kawasaki W, H1 & Z - The Big Air-cooled Machines

This illustrated book explores the history of Kawasaki's air-cooled 'big' bikes in great detail. It is based on thorough research conducted in Japan with full cooperation from the factory.
These models played a crucial role in establishing Kawasaki's reputation during the 1960s and 1970s, helping the company survive a challenging period when most Japanese motorcycle manufacturers disappeared, leaving only four major brands.
The bikes were an instant success, achieving victory both on the racetrack and in sales, and securing multiple world championship titles for Kawasaki.
Recently, the series was revived as part of a retro trend, with a new model launched that captures the excitement and character of the original versions.
