H1 Style in Italy – 2016 Kawasaki Vulcan S

In Cruiser, Custom, Japan by Tim HuberLeave a Comment

Upon its release in the early 1970’s, Kawasaki’s H1 Mach III was the fastest half-liter production motorcycle in existence. Inspired by the legendary Japanese triple, Verona-based customs outfit Mr. Martini (aka Nicola Martini) joined forces with Kawasaki Italy to create a special H1-flavored kit for the Vulcan S.

Limited to only 100 units, the kit is comprised of a thick two-person seat (available in either black or tan), special side covers, a new extended tail piece, new lighting throughout, new foot controls, handlebars, and a two-into-two Zard exhaust made specially for the kit. The kit is offered in two colors based on original factory liveries of the red and green H1 Mach III.

The project was done in collaboration with Kawasaki Italy, allowing customers to order the H1-kitted Vulcan S directly from Italian dealerships. And unlike most customs and kits, the Mr. Martini kit doesn’t void the full factory warranty. This particular example is number 13 of 100 and is brand new with zero miles. The bike is built around a 2016 Kawasaki Vulcan S and features the green livery and a black seat.

You can find this zero-mile Mr. Martini H1 Mach III-kitted 2016 Kawasaki Vulcan S for sale here on the Mr. Martini website in Verona, Italy with a price of $10,750 (€9,800).
