Vehicle Information
Kawasaki KD175 Dirt Bike (1975-1979)
The Kawasaki KD175 is an iconic off-road motorcycle produced from 1976 to 1979. While often associated with the 1975-1979 period, the KD175 series officially debuted in 1976. This robust dirt bike was powered by a consistent 174cc single-cylinder, 2-stroke, air-cooled engine with a rotary disc valve throughout its production run, offering an estimated 16 horsepower, slightly more potent than its KE175 counterpart. Designed purely for off-road adventures, it shared mechanical foundations with the KE175 but omitted street-legal components. A significant change occurred in the transmission: the 1976 KD175-A1 featured a 6-speed gearbox, while models from 1977 (KD175-A2) through 1979 (KD175-A4) were equipped with a 5-speed transmission. Minor styling updates were also introduced for the 1977 and 1978 models, with the 1979 model marking the final iteration without major revisions.
