My favorite motorcycle I’ve bought yet is still the 1974 Kawasaki f7 175 cc enduro. It’s super fun for around town or around the trails and has a very tactile feel compared to modern bikes.

My first bike in the mid 70s but it was an F11B 250. Built/bored to a 350 size. At a certain speed/rpm, it would just take off like a rocket. Got stolen, found out who stole it. Knocked on his door. The kid had his arm in a sling and I saw the bike in pieces behind him in his living room. He had broken his collar bone while riding my bike. He came out tried to fight me but he fell down in the process. I walked away somewhat satisfied.

Just bought a '74 F7. Going to pick it up today! Same color scheme and great condition. My first bike, purchased in '92 was the same. Very excited to get it. Also just bought a '77 Suzuki PE 250. And when you say vintage 2-stroke scooters, are we talking like Vespas and Lambrettas? I also have a collection of those! What state are you in?

Those are orig. forks. Hatta forks. Did not come with brace. The fork springs are adjustable, just remove plugs on top, push down and turn clockwise with screwdriver. 3 settings I think.

Your bike is actually a 1973 model. The color scheme of the tank striping, the black engine, the instruments, controls and everything else are characteristic of the 1973 model year. 1973 was unique compared to the 1974 model.
