1972 KAWASAKI S2 350SS Mach マッハ

[rlc883]

I traded a 59' Ford Ranchero for one of those. Best trade I ever made! Miss that bike.

[farmertull]

I owned one for one month before a man took a quick left hand turn into me and I did a summersault and landed on my head . My helmet was destroyed but no head trauma. The speedometer almost removed chance of future progeny. Bike took $700 to restore it. It was $825 new.

the sound.

[artfantasies]

One of the nicest bikes ever!

[ruzphi]

I always wanted one ,but was way out of my budget in the early 70s , thanks for the posting .

[grahamzx9r]

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eric22]

HaHa, Kawasaki rules !! Started with a H1B Mach III myself in 1972!! Never had another make. Now I still have the ZZ-R1100 I bought new in 1990.

[CaptainNomura]

Thanks for the offer. I need to start saving money. I have over 50 bikes, mostly stock, including 5 CB750s so my maintenance cost is high but the S2 is on my high list too, even more than the H2. When you're in Vegas, especially if you're riding that S2, please let me know.

[CaptainNomura]

Oh, that is nice. I wanted to buy the 1972 S2 shortly after I got my first motorcycle, the Yamaha AT2. I even have a photo of my new bike parked next to the new S2 (and the H2 and Suzuki GT550) on the local dealer. I especially liked the S2 because it handled very light, like my AT2 but it had worse gas mileage than the bigger H2 because 30% of the gas is used for cooling! So I bought the Honda SL350K1 then the big KZ900. I have the KH500 which handles nearly as light but I still want the S2.

[banzaitour]

Thanks, Captain.

When you ready to buy the S2 ,Please contact me.:)

[mickk44flungie]

Lovely sound, those darned rings would not rattle for the first 100 miles but after that it was business as usual.

Suppose that's what they were designed to sound like.

NICE.

[banzaitour]

I see, Thanks.

[mplsfarmerjon]

way fast,scaerist small bike ,i have ever ridden.

[banzaitour]

Oh, yes. it's scare, but fun!! :)

Hi, 400gp.

Thanks for your info.

Yes, I will try to upload the video of riding soon....

[oldKXdude]

Yep, I had one also way back in the day-wish I still had it. By the way, what kind of old car is in the background?

[banzaitour]

Thanks, oldKXdude.

The car behind it, is Chevrolet BelAir wagon.

I think it is '56.

[1980Z1MAN]

had a '73 just like it, nice quick bike.

[banzaitour]

Thanks!

Your Z1 sooo cooool.

[1980Z1MAN]

thanx, have a lot of plans for it, chrome chrome and more chrome! ride safe!

[indigoblue555]

Still a great style and sound -

Kawa triple were a worldwide legend and watching at yours brings back memories to me.

thx for posting =

[banzaitour]

Thx! So you used to have the S2 before?

If it reminded you that's my pleasure.

[indigoblue555]

to banzaitour - HI! Kawa triples were runnin legends - in my country 350 S2 was rarest due to import restrictions- 500 H1 and its evol. was a true best seller.The 750 H2 was pretty succesful as well.

I owned a 2 nd hand 500 H1B orangered 1972.

no electr.ignigtion but a nice disc brake....

Can't describe biking in Milan warm nights from April on:dozens of Japs burning out with long blue glares....!

Emissions ?? Unknown concept by then.

Have fun banzaitour!

[majog1]

They were really nice and powerful that 2strokes.The only problem was they needs a lot of fuel.

[banzaitour]

YES!! It was bad economy, But it's still better than my pick up truck.... And much FUN!!

[us1129]

Fantastic!

Very very Beutifull!!

[banzaitour]

Thanks!!

[grahamzx9r]

Mine was standing in a garage for 30 years when I bought it, and now it's running suberb, still in original shape.
