The Kawasaki 350 Avenger A7 was a motorcycle by the Japanese manufacturer Kawasaki and was built from 1967 to 1971.

History and technology

In 1967 the 350 Avenger A7 appeared on the market. It had a two-cylinder with a rotary valve inlet control. The laterally rotating disks with segment cutouts controlled the inlet. The mixture preparation was realized via a separate lubrication (Injectolube) with a separate container for the two-stroke oil. A narrow tubular backbone frame with two beams formed the base of the motorcycle, a telescopic fork and a two-armed rear swing arm accommodated the wheels with tires measuring 3.25–18 (front) and 3.50–18 (rear). The front wheel was decelerated with a 180 mm duplex drum brake and the rear with a 180 mm simplex brake. The instruments were integrated in the upper shell of the main headlight. Later models had separate instruments. There were the following models with the type A7 (1967–1971), A7SS (1967–1971) with raised exhaust and A7R (1968) racing version.

The sister model 250 Samurai A1 with a 247 cc engine and 31 hp DIN at 7,000 min -1 was produced at the same time.

successor

Encouraged by the success of the 500 H1 Mach III , the 250 S1 Mach I (250-SS) and 350 S2 Mach II (350-SS ) were offered in the smaller classes in 1971 , as well as the 400 S3 Mach II (later KH 400) in 1974 . As the top model from 1972, Kawasaki had the 750 H2 Mach IV in its range, which set new standards in acceleration and top speed.
