40 Years on with messing with these bikes and I am still learning the megga early H1 motors didn't have the "KAE" cast into them - it was stamped instead, along with the cylinders, they have a totally different casting and porting to the other Early H1's, which leads me to believe that like other Kawasaki models, there was a specific batch of bikes made to release to the press for testing

A 650 ?????? Never heard that one before……..How cool !!!!!!

The "poop" Was the H2 was designed as a 650, then Kawi got worried a bit about the Honduh 750 and bumped the H2 to a 750. That's why they seem to have small transfers, from the much bigger bore.

I wonder if there was a 650 prototype and a picture ?????

On Tokyo show 1970 there was on Kawasaki stand a road side car basset with an engine annouced as a 650cc triple two stroke, very few pictures were made but the is a plastic kit 1/8 made after by a japanese maker like Tamiya
was Hasegawa at first see a picture of the plastic kit annouced as 500cc engine very close from the real one in tokyo show 1970

I have been told there is a run of '69 cylinders that have bigger rear transfer boost port tunnels. Perhaps this can be confirmed?

Also, there is a completely different shaped combustion chambers than normal production. Maybe have a look for this too?

Kawasaki is well known for changing things throughout the production cycle. Even on the brand new stuff these days. Very cool pic, thanks RB!
