"In 1975 the KD80 appeared as an off-road model for the younger rider, based on an older 90cc machine that had its roots in the earlier days of the firm. It was styled on the lines of the larger trail models but scaled down to suit the user's age." - Roy Bacon, Kawasaki Z1 to Ninja.
Powering Kawasaki's new miniature trail bike was an 80cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine (based on that of the MC1) featuring disc valve induction, which drove via a five-speed gearbox. Cycle parts were entirely conventional (telescopic forks up front and twin shock absorbers at the rear) and the KD80 rolled on 16" front and 14" rear wheels shod with 'knobbly' tyres. The maximum power output was quoted as 6bhp at 6,500rpm. The KD80 was built initially for just the 1975 and 1976 seasons before disappearing from the range, only to return in 1980 as the KD80M, in which form it lasted until 1988.
The current vendor purchased this rare Kawasaki off-roader at a UK auction in October 2016, since when it has been kept as part of his extensive private collection within a climate controlled environment. Re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent will be required if the machine is to be used. There are no documents with this Lot.
