I sent you a PM yesterday about the bike but have not heard anything back from you ?

Cool bike. Don't see many Kawasaki mini bikes. They must not have made too many.

Actually the 1969 2 stroke model MB1 was way lower production than the MB1A 4 stroke which were 1971 & 1972.

Cool. Regardless of year I don't see Kawi mini bikes come up often. Do you know the actual production numbers?

I do not know the exact production numbers of either,but living literally right next door to a Kawasaki shop (where I got my 1971 MB1A bike new) for just shy of 60 years I can remember seeing lots of the 4 stroke models compared to not so many 2 stroke models come and go for service,repairs etc mainly in the 70's as I use to wash motorcycles there as a kid on Monday's (when they were closed).

Then in 1971 the Coyote was superseded by the new MT1 Parnelli Jones Dynamite / KV75 which were produced for 10 years until 1980.

So in reality there were several thousand minibikes produced by Kawasaki in the 1970s.

The only company to produce more was Honda.
