I owned the H2 once never was able to ride it it needed full restoration. However I did have a chance to ride a couple of Yamaha rd350s and rd400s they were amazing fun bikes sort of glad now at 18 I never got that H2 on the road probably would have killed myself on it
Well boys I just bought one, a barn find, with three engines, total basket case. 1972, candy blue. Going to restore her, do a resto-mod so I can make it safe enough to ride, upgrade the suspension and brakes, brace the frame, better wheels and tires. Been wanting one for years, damn good investment too, one sold at auction for $52k, can you believe it...I think it was a unrestored low mile hangar queen. Kids will get it when I'm gone, along with the RZ350.
Wonderful H2 and drag, thankyou Sir! I was taken to a long country road outside my NSW town to first ride one in 1974 when I was 13. The week before I was taken to the same place by the same older friend to ride an older CB750K. Riding the Kawi well was a big topic of conversation. I remain convinced that one rides by the seat of ones pants and keeps ones eyes peeled on the next bend... smoothness and accuarcy are acheived by that principle. A committment to developing skill and good roadcraft allows you to ride anything anywhere happily. I still love the oppertunity for a swap for a good ride on a H2 and any of the old air-cooled Kawi's and Hondas, and I hate riding at the back of the pack. The H2 is a magnificent ride and in my mind a very sharp weapon and equal in vibe to all the Z1's, not matched until the arrival of the CB1100R.
Back in the day a lot of Harley and Triumph riders would turn the other way when these little rice grinders came screaming through town. They were screamers!
Kawasaki 2 stroke triples were my favorite bike. I really loved my 2 stroke triple and wish I'd never sold it. Ya gotta have some balls to ride a wing ding machine.
Stock it would twist tne frame and cook the center cylinder
Love 2 strokes
WOAH!! That was intense! Thanks for the wild ride, connorsracing! I need a cup of coffee... or a muscle relaxer.
The widow making weedwacker.
That's way too slow a trap speed for that time. Should be in the low 150's.

Miss that sound
That bike is like a 250- size frame and extremely light. Room for your ass and a gallon of gas!
Bikes back then was like riding a mail box
Man, that thing launched like a cannon! What a wicked powerband!
Love to have seen the bike...
What time did it run ?
At one time they were the fastest thing on two wheels.
What an F'N SCREAMER !!!!!.....Holy Crap!!!!

Great story. I got my license on my 14th birthday, and wheelied away on a ported and piped '71 H1 500, and never looked back. Those were the days!
9.64 and it sounds like the clutch is slipping or its SPINNING? Man what a monster...
I'm with Billy..(post below).. I miss that exhaust smell.
I hate to ask a dumb question but what was the time for the quarter mile
What the fuck

Unbelievable I could smell the 2 stroke mmmm, oops I have my own H2 running.
Mean, wicked, nasty, and loud screamers that's the way I like my motorcycles and women. ha ha
