Kawasaki KC100 Companion
A remarkably quick little 100cc two-stroke single (auto-lube) from Kawasaki. Two owners from new in the UK, original engine (matching numbers – they are close on a Kawasaki not the same), original registration and some history including an old V5 registration document. New V5C correctly states historic status and Classic Bike Workshop have spent way too much time making everything work to MOT standards. Even the clutch-pull side stand works now. Nicely preserved and with some recent tidying such as a new seat cover, it offers light weight and peppy performance in a classic machine that brakes and handles well without any of the complexity of later machines. Improvement opportunities to note would be the poor paintwork on the headlamp and old tyres; while having enough tread; could do with replacing really. Had to stop somewhere. A nice machine with some fettle potential.
