Identify this mid-70s? Kawasaki - Vintage MX?

Measure the bore and length of stroke ... and do the sums. It will give you cc rating.

No need. It'll say it on the side of the cyl more than likely.

Yes and I am sure it will say it is a pile.

All the japs trial style bikes had that chromed heat guard from the 70's which doesnt help a lot... But the big K made 175cc not the 185. Maybe a Suzuk frame with kwaka tank?

I'll have a bet each way and say a Suzuki 185 motor in a Kawasaki frame. the mounting of the engine looks a bit too dodgy to be a factory effort (the view from the left side just looks wrong around the baootom of the engine)

Exactly what I thought. I also don't recognize the rear frame loop, or the angle of the frame at the rear of the engine as being Suzuki.

Looks like a TS185 engine ... the chassis though is suspect. It will (should) have a chassis number stamped on the steering head for an accurate identification. Just Google that number ... and all (hopefully) will be revealed
