Kawasaki W1 650cc Twin pre68 Sidecar

[Graeme M]

Kawasaki W1 650cc Twin pre68 Sidecar.  This infamous ugly beast the "Black Rat"  is sitting in my shed and does so need to be on the track ! Love to see the fun, hard work and terror in a teams eyes again. The old horror is fully running and comes with a large crate of engine / gearbox spares plus two burnt out bikes (Motors gearboxes still in frames). Needs front brake cable and a set of mufflers as the straight out headers are a tad loud ..well a lot (but does sound gorgeous).

Has Boyer electronic sparks and runs a modified twin Mikuni head.

Asking $3000

pretty much an A10 BSA isnt it. i know a guy who was desperatly looking for a pre 68 sidecar or a bike to build one and he pretty much came to the decision that the only choice was a euro 2 stroke, one of these kwakas, a A10 BSA or a triumph or norton. im not sure what hes done now or if he has found anything though.

 Common misconception ,Not even the spark plugs are the same Leith. Closer to BSA A7 but still nothing really interchanges .

Nice photo.    Was that at Morgan? Did I take it?
Sorry for the dribble.......... I've been out shooting Joe Cocker and had one or two (thousand) drinks afterwards..........................

[LWC82PE]

if it was taken at morgan then the guy looking for a bike probabaly saw it there.

the rider boots  are the bis ness

[Tim754]

Tony it was not one of yours. Got plenty of others of yours of Morgan and Steve but they are private photo album photos. Pissed with Joe Cocker hardly seems true.................Paul ,Steve was um all round "..Suss. hippie different"

[Tony T]

Pissed with Joe Cocker hardly seems true.................

That's cos it's not. 
He walked off stage, jumped in a car and buggered off straight away as he's playing in Perth tonight.
So yes, I shot Joe Cocker and yes, we got pissed after, but he wasn't there. 
Sorry, off topic a bit.
btw Tim, feel free to share those photos with anybody you want to. Copy the CD even. I don't mind.

Tim ..looks like the jockey is either assisting with the turning into corner or stopping axle bolt from comming out     cool shot all the same

[Hoony]

yeah i would like to see some of the old morgan mile if you got them.

[Tim754]

Tim Here  Will consider Swap or trade in for  Any Speedway outfit complete, incomplete rooted... CB754 bike ,sidecar or stuff , SL125 Or a TM125 Suzuki..... Really! Oh $3000 is just a rough figure ; OK)

[YSS]

Gee Tim , only $3000   , that should sell quickly for that money. There are blokes in WA that are always looking for something like that.

[paul]

walter get those guy fromm wa to catch the train acroos and they coud ride it straight back across the nullabour flat chat   

[YSS]

They probaly would too.

[LWC82PE]

yeah when ever there is the sidecar cross meeting at Morgan or Warnambool there these guys that come over from WA and they always drop in and say hi and they are always asking for wasp parts, they are always looking for wasp stuff as they reckon theres none of that stuff over there.
