Kawasaki Tecate 3: The Green Machine That Joined the 3-Wheeler Wars

In the 1980s, Kawasaki entered the sport three-wheeler wars with a machine that stood out: the KXT250 Tecate 3. This video looks at the Tecate’s liquid-cooled two-stroke power, manual five-speed transmission, Uni-Trak rear suspension, and the changes Kawasaki made as the model evolved from 1984 through 1987. We’ll also look at the factory racing era and the end of the three-wheeler’s short, unforgettable run. The Kawasaki Tecate 3 was a green machine with a racing heart—and one of the most memorable sport trikes of its time.
