1976 Kawasaki KX125-A3

Try not to drool on your keyboards while you check out this absolutely perfect 1976 Kawasaki KX125-A3 from Tony DeSantis of Flemington, New Jersey.

This 1976 Kawasaki KX125-A3 is the same model and year I purchased new at age 14. I restored this bike to like new condition. The frame was sand blasted and powder coated. The engine was completely rebuilt, all the original hardware were re-zink plated. The wheels were stripped, polished and re-anodized. Every detail has been recreated to make this bike look like it came off the Kawasaki dealer floor in 1976.

From 1974 to 1976 Kawasaki made very minimal changes to their KX125, mainly graphics and paint. The 178 pound 1976 Kawasaki KX125-A3 was a 124cc rotary valve air cooled machine that put out a claimed 22 hp. That’s pretty decent power to weight ratio, making this a peppy and very fun to ride bike as long as the track isn’t torn too torn up. Why? The ’76 KX125 has less than 4 inches of suspension in the rear and 6 inches in the forks, which wasn’t much for most bikes in 1976. It is because of the short suspension however, that the ’76 KX125 is legal in the AHRMA vintage sportsman class, (correct us if we’re wrong).

Thanks for sharing your treasured two-stroke with everyone Tony!
