nice havent owned one since 1982.i really enjoy those 750s.i used to drag race back in the day,rigid frame lectron carbs handmade expansion chambers.my bike was liscensed and i rode it to the track and back,it was very long with the wheelie bars.the sound reminded me of that.thanks.
Great vid' ... great bike! Bring back the 2 strokes I say!! Cant beat that smell & sound... Love those triples to death, at least they had a soul and took proper skills to ride um well (or nerves of steel ! lol)
For their era, h1's (fun too!) and h2's were the fastest off the showroom floor bike to buy - tons of fun - wikipedia these triple's - still the fastest quarter mile, modded!!! I had the 500 and 750 - pal had 900 z1, not as fast in low and mid! Kawi and their reed valves, ee hah! :) This H2's insane and held back - look at its tach going nuts - widen me widen me!!!!!!! Devil bikes :).
@fuhmeregan Kawasaki didn't use reed valves on their triples, you're thinking of Yamaha. A standard H2 was quick in its day but nothing like a modern sports 750 that easily produce double the bhp.
@Zepp1967 The right porting and jetting, set the timing to suit and use bespoke pipes and these babies really were ballistic. Should know had one and like most idiots sold it for peanuts to buy a car (needed a backseat nudge nudge).
Its a 37 year old bike that turns a stock 12.3 1/4 mile compared to say a new 600 @ mid 10's or 11's. The H-2 still holds many 750 speed records and has a value of maybe ten times of what is was new. Aren't you comparing apples with oranges? An H-2 can be made to pull mid 7's in a 1/4 mile, its also a piece of history.The new bikes are high tech machines that handle and move as fast as they loose their value. I like bikes that are different that I can work on, not just another new bike.
and with practise at finding the sweet spot of the powerband there is no need to clutch it. I owned the Mach IV when I was 17....fear factor zero.....biiiig wheelies everywhere...now I am 50 and still get a kick from the sight n sound of these bikes....
i have not ridden my h2 in almost 10 years. i almost forgot what it was like to hit the power band. it's either coming up or spinning the tire. cool video.
