My Bikes
1972 Kawasaki F7 175
VIN# F7-28146
Red

I bought this bike to replace the F7 that was
stolen. The bike came from California and it is hard to
describe how nicely preserved it is. There were a few
fine scratches on the body work on this bike, and the paint
around the oil filler cap was worn off. I collected
all NOS body parts and replaced them. Other than that,
there has been no disassembly done on this bike. It is
one of the nicest examples out there, and too nice to take
apart........although I want to make it perfect. I
acquired one of these bikes at the age of 15 and with 21.5
hp on tap, I was king of the hill. I ended up riding
that bike many many miles, including highway stretches
between parents and grandparents houses of about 60
miles. The luggage rack was also missing from this
bike when I purchased it, so I found one and had it
rechromed. The bike runs very well and brings back
many memories. The only mechanical item that has been
worked on is the replacement of the crank seals.
