Wasp-Kawasaki Question

Post by Al Wenzel »

Hello all,

I wound up with a LH Wasp-Kawasaki H2 outfit and I'd like to know more about it.

It's an RT8 (1974-75?) but it doesn't show any other markings (A, Z, etc..), other than the serial number on the headstock. The chassis was obviously built for an H2 Kawasaki by Wasp.

Does anybody know how many chassis' were built by Wasp for the H2 Kawasaki triple?

Cheers,

Al,

Robby Rhind Tutt at Wasps near Sailsbury still has all his old records. If you ring him with your chassis number he can tell you who he originally built it for and when. That would be a start. Hope that helps

Hi Al

The chances are that this is the machine built for Bob Gollner of Denmead in Hampshire , a Kawasaki dealer at the time - it was very quick out of the gate but didn't always make the first turn ! He also had a Wasp built to take a Z1000 4 which I ended up with many years later. Good luck in your information search

PS Got any pictures?
