Maybe a Bit Biased, But Still Good
I'm a bit biased for giving 5 stars. My Dad appears on the back cover with his bike. The KH500 featured for '76 (I think that's the year) also has his picture and a page of quotes.I bought this for a gift for my Dad. It was the perfect Christmas present. It literally brought tears to a man's eyes where I can hardly ever remember seeing them.The book on a whole is very nice. I got a chance to browse through it before I wrapped it up. The topics cover from the regular run down of specs and information regarding the production of each model to the people who road them. From what my Dad has told me, being that he has read more of it than I, the perspective comes more from the U.K. point of view. I believe this to be so, but I only had a brief conversation with the books author.Again, my assessment of the book is biased, but I do feel that it is a well put together and from my discussions with my Dad and the author that it is well researched.

Across the Pond viewpoint
Plenty of usable info, a great deal of it about Great Britain & the Continent. Good read. Valuable tips for potential collectors.

Good reference for updates
Very informative, no service instructions though

Very Thorough
All the little questions are answered here for the most part. Easy reading and properly broken into chapters for each model.

If you own one you will like this book
As I own both a 750 and a 500 this has been an excellent book to inform me on why they built them the way they did, what goes wrong with them, what to look for and so much more. Its referred to as the triples bible, that is the right description.The only negative is that there is not as much info on the H1R and H2R as I would like but there is loads of info on all of the production models.

Background info on Kawasaki triples
I bought this as background info as I am restoring a Mach III. And I learned a lot about Kawasaki and the triples. This is full of useful information - it discusses what's wrong with the bikes as well as what's right. Full of pictures, and it's organised into models by year so it's easy to get the overview you need.

Canada, Quebec historical facts?
hello, very good book! Unfortunately, not enough information and historical facts from Canada and Quebec. Being from Quebec'sEastern township's Sherbrooke, I have grown up knowing about Yvon Duhamel Skidoo and kawasaki sucessfull career.Nothing about Yvon Duhamel's life and contribution to kawasaki racing.Also,not enough vintage pictures of R&D pedegree.nevertheless, a good book. Thank you. Luc Menard.

Definitely not "The Kawasaki Triples Bible"
I was so wanting this Book to be a fresh informative look at the Triples range but as I turned the pages over it reminded me of Roy Bacon,s Book " Kawasaki - Sunrise to Z1" - Although without covering the single Cylinder Machines.With each passing Chapter it got worse - The Inaccuaracies were becoming fairly common place - Some being real "Howlers" that really should not have found their way into any book on this subject.The Pictures were mediocre - Most have been seen many times before - Many from Kawasaki Sales Brochures (Which most were inaccurate anyway!) Even some of the Restored Bikes were totally wrong - Especially the Paint Sets & Decals.So as a Reference Source it renders the Book virtually useless?.No sorry until someone can write an accurate Book on the Triples then I would reccomend to keep Roy Bacons Book on the shelf for now & save your Money.
