The '''Kawasaki F7''' was a 175cc [[dual-purpose motorcycle]] manufactured by [[Kawasaki]] from 1971 through 1975. It was the larger brother of the [[Kawasaki F6|Kawasaki F6 125cc]] and had the general overall appearance of the [[Kawasaki F4]] and [[Kawasaki F5]]. It was a very good [[Enduro]] motorcycle with its higher [[horsepower]] for its class, enclosed [[carburetor]] to keep out dirt and water and sufficient ground clearance. | |||
The noticeable changes from the Kawasaki F6 were: (a) A blue matrix fuel tank decal and "175" decal on the oil reservoir. (b) Aluminum cylinder head. (c) [[CDI ignition]] system. (d) [[Hatta fork|Hatta adjustable fork]]. | |||
