Here's an interesting timeline for Kawasaki bikes:

It puts the names and dates into perspective.

Spot on Gos, I have a blue/white S & I'm fucked if I know why people refer to them as Wes replicas.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a faithful Wes Cooley replica because it's the same look as the bike he did most of his winning on.

According to "the Kawasaki Story" there were only 17 S1's actually "sold". Makes you wonder how many were actually "made" :?

The difference to Eddie's being the use of CR Special 33mm Carbies as opposed to the Flat Slide EI type on No21

The story above say's 29, ive read in the past that there were 31 made.
Ive got a book by mike walker about kawasaki's, but that does'nt say, but if only 17 were sold, what happened to the other's??
