    I had a Kawasaki KH 400 two-stroke triple. Nice bike. I raced it at Loudon and Bridgehampton. Lots of fun. Miss those two strokes.

    The S2 were rare here in the UK, i had an early H2 and have ridden the 500, 400, 350 and 250, out of the lot i reckon the S2 was the nicest to ride, the worst was the early H1b

      I had a 350 in the UK, and you're right they were rare.
      Mine had a twin leading drum front brake which was useful after a couple of bends.
      I would dearly love another one, but the prices!!

    Pipes...these things need pipes soooo badly..
    Huge reduction in weight and a performance boost- its a win/win.
    Stock pipes are only needed by museum pieces.

      Agreed! The stock pipes would make good blunt-force weapons if you and your bike ever got sent back to Medieval times and you had to cave in a Knight's helmet. These things are already as light as a new Ninja 400; once you take off those pipes and the IJN Yamato battleship anchor they used as a center stand, it's a properly light machine.

      The later kh 400 did 103 mph and had a slightly longer wheel base and didn't handle as well as the s2 having the same frame as the 250.
      S2 350 did 111mph and thrashing it to it's limits 18mpg, careful about 45mpg

      I have a 72 S2 350. Back in the day, a friend of mine had a new 74 RD 350. I would race him, and it would be equal until second gear when the RD would pull slightly ahead due to having a six speed gearbox vs the Kawasaki 5 speed. Both bikes extremely nimble and handled well, but the yamaha had the six speed.

      @@michaeldavis5775 I had a 75 RD 250 that was a rocket and handled like a slot car. Then I upgraded the engine to a 350 with chambers and low bars, necessary to keep the front end down. That thing ripped for what it was.
