    Simply stunning. I have been fortunate to have owned three of these fabulous bikes back in the mid-late '70's. Two green '73 500 h1b's, both (eventually) with chambers, and a brown '74 750 h2b, factory pipes. I then moved on to the z1 and kz 900 genre. I loved them all, but if I could have only one of them back, no question about it, it would be one of the 2 stroke triples, probably one of the 500s. Something about them just tugs at my heart. If only I had known then what I know now.

    YOU ARE NOT DOING JUSTICE TO THIS INCREDIBLE COLLECTION!!! Please re-record and think about us trying to follow ...please! My head is spinning. But add...I am blown away with your amazing collection. As a teen, couldn't ride, but my cousins could, and I still remember the green triple he raced up and down the street...with no helmet. Must have been widow makers these bikes.

    I just purchased a Concourse Winning 1975 -H2-750 Purple for $35,000, just wanted let everyone understand how valuable these bikes have become. This Man has an absolute Gold Mine!!! I also just purchased a 1969-H1-500 Concourse Winning for $20,000, I couldn't be happier with my new Bikes!! I lusted after these in the 80's when I was 10 years old!!!

    The one in the crate is mine, I wish. must be worth a fortune 40 plus, you can pay 20 for mint but in a crate, wow. I worked for a Kawasaki dealer just outside London and I loved building new Kawasaki's, The thing with the triples was everyone looked at them they had something about them that even today get people looking. When I drove them on a test ride after a service those 750 triples sounded just awesome, really menacing with that deep intake growl. Thanks for the showing the collection, stunning

    I recall reading an article in Playboy magazine, probably early 70s, where the writer, driving some sort of muscle car, described how it felt to be blown into the weeds by an H1. USA was the place to find NOS bikes. Lovely collection.

    Rick, in early 2018 my good friend Mike Kauzlarich passed away in Northern California. Kauz, as we called him, successfully roadraced a blue '72 H2 in AFM events at Sears Point. At the time of his death, he still had that #818 racebike in the garage as it was last raced in the late '70s. It was very trick: early Fox Shox, crankshaft by the legendary race tuner Erv Kanemoto, Goodyear racing slicks on aluminum rims, Harry Hunt plasma-sprayed aluminum brake rotors, and more cool stuff. Stock paint, no fairing, a real beauty. Mike finished 7th on it at the 1978 Sears Point AMA superbike race. I have not remained in touch with his family and don't know the whereabouts of #818, but it may still be with his brother Steve in Oakland. Steve has his own UA-cam channel, under the name Kauzmic.

    Fantastic collection, I thought the last Newark (uk) classic bike show had quite a few on display, never seen so many in one place. I'm sure there is a great story how a Brit ended up in the states with all those Kawasaki Triples. Thanks for the vid.

  • @billmoran3219
    @billmoran3219 4 роки тому +2

    The reason so many of those bikes are low miles and unrestored is most guys got tired of changing there underwear after they rode those monsters and parked them for good. Awesome collection 👍
