kawasaki 500 mach 3

Is there an ideal motorbike for touring the islands?

collector's item,the Kawasaki 500 H1is for rent on Châtelaillon-Plage, La Rochelle or the island of Réa historic motorcycle.

​

Who has never ridden on the handlebars of a 500 Mach III has never ridden a motorcycle!

 

When presented in September 1968, the 500 Mach III was like a bomb.

It will mark the minds of a whole generation of motorcyclists.

Literally and figuratively: 174 kg, 60 HP (120 HP/L), 190 km/h top speed.

At the time, this corresponds to the performance of a good 500 cc Grand Prix.

The 500 Mach III pushes the limits of users who are used to and trained in motorcycling on 40 HP 4-stroke twin cylinders.

The 500 Mach III is powerful and brutal.

It accelerates more than it brakes.

Consumes 11 to 12 L per 100 km.

Its chassis, from previous productions of the brand (250 Samurai, 350 Avenger), is not at the level of the power delivered by the engine.

The motorcycle bounces and tacks.

She rears up too.

The 500 Mach III is difficult to master, which contributes to its reputation.

And its success.

This reinforces the image of the "rebellious" manufacturer, which will earn Kawasaki unfailing loyalty from its customers.
