When the Kawasaki appeared at 60 x 58.8-mm bore & stroke, it was completely straight forward three cylinders in-line, with a tall alternator/ignition cover adding inches of width on the left, and with its gear primary drive to a 5-speed gearbox on the right. Powerful double leading shoe front brakes, racing rear brake with air scoops always respond smoothly for safe straight line stops.
