Bike Details

Date dispatched by the factory Dec. 22-1964 to Detlev Louis of Hamburg, it’s one of only two handful bikes coming directly to Germany. Detlev Louis was an Importer for a vast range of British bikes and then began also distributing KAWASAKI in 1969. He is over 90 years and still alive, spoke to him before last Christmas! Louis was the first owner and he stated to me in a letter around beginning of the 1990ies that this was his own personal bike. As far as I know he also rode RE in racing. He posessed the bike approx. up to 1971. The Lady was moderately modified by his mechanics and was then given to a motorcycle mechanic in Munich. He began again modifying the bike between end of 1971 under steady developments up to 1974.
