1978 Works Kawasaki SR380

Featured here is a 1978 Kawasaki SR380. This bike is very rare as there were only two made. The first 1978 SR’s that were made had the long sharp angled shocks. Apparently it did not handle well so they had to redesign the frame and suspension angles.  Because Thorleif was not competing in the 500 class, they did not bother sending him the new frame design for the 380, instead they sent him 2 new 250’s with the new design.

This bike has not been restored, only cleaned and cosmetically touched up .
