    '73 H2 750 total stock at age 18 back in the mid '70's. Lived to tell about it. Had a Low side Road Smoochey in a very hard corner. The bike problem in this situation was rear brake lock up which is common with drum brakes.. Once locked, they don't release easy, and in a hard corner is a wipe out. My nick namefor it was the Paint Shaker.. my hands would be brutalized! Wide open it would scream. could beat most other bikes, but the smoke screen was not popuar. Norton Commando blew me away.

    I had a 73 , 750 H-2 bsck in the late 70's. I traded a beat up baby grand piano for it. We grew up on dirt bikes, so lots of experience on loose gravel roads. H2 had lots of speed, and the steering damper was a lifesaver. It was the fastest thing out of the crate at the time. Only street rice burner I ever owned. Been on my HD Shovelhead ever since..

    Bikes don't kill riders. They are only a means of propulsion. If your experience, skill, perception and anticipation of where you will be in x number of seconds is faulty, then you are going to have a problem. Been riding for over 60 years, yes, I am a dinosaur, but not extinct yet. Happy to have enjoyed British, German, Japanese, Italian, Czech, and American bikes. Ride smart!

    I had one for a short while when I was a teenager with expansion chambers, velocity stacks and I think it had a different sprocket; All I know is I gave some guy a head start In a drag race, he was going 130 mph and I passed him like he was standing still. I got annoyed because I thought he let off the throttle, but he had not, that's how crazy fast that bike was! That was the first time I went that fast on two wheels and the last time, it just didn't seem like a good idea. It was a really weird setup: First through 4th gear were extremely rapid but for some reason when you hit 5th gear that's when it would really pull and stand on end. It had a steering stabilizer on it I don't remember if that was stock or somebody had added it perhaps it's why I'm still alive today at 60.

    I had a 500 triple when I was about 20 and loved it. It was like riding a bull that someone had smashed it in the nuts. Took it to mallala race track a few times and it was so easy to get it to slide coming out of the corners and lay down rubber . Not a great handling bike but it suited my riding style.

    To put in perspective the H2’s “staggering” power and acceleration, it had about the same power as the 2000 Suzuki SV650 and weighed 100 lbs more. The H2 was “peaky” (narrow power band) but mostly what made it dangerous was that it had crap brakes and tires and was cheap enough that inexperienced riders could buy it. I remember when I was 15 and was street legal on my CB100 going over to see a crash site with my other 100 cc limited friends. An H2 rider had failed to make a turn and bashed his brains out on a concrete retaining wall. Some of his brain was still there. It made all of us feel sick and actually mortal for a couple of days.

    this is a horrible video. your information is not accurate and misleading. the nsr500 was the dominate 500gp bike. the rc45 was replaced by the rc51 in 2000, and won the wsbk championship that year. and again in 2002. Ducati did not develop the desmodromic valve actuation for MotoGP. nor did Ducati come up with using a double bubble windscreen for racing MotoGP. there is so much wrong and misleading info it's ridiculous about the only thing you got right was how dominant the rc21 1v, that's how it's pronounced not rc211v 21st century 1st model, having won about 55% of the races it entered
