If the arrival of the H1 triple had established Kawasaki as a manufacturer of performance motorcycles, the H2 750cc triple confirmed it. Totally focused on performance, the new model was said to cover the standing quarter in (well) under 13 seconds and achieve a maximum speed of 125mph while despatching a gallon of fuel in 17 miles. With a claimed 74bhp at 6, 800rpm and maximum torque of 57ft lb at only 300rpm less, it was, and is, a machine that demands respect.
This 1972 Kawasaki has had a great deal of time and money spent on it since it was purchased in 2018. It was sent to Gary Clarke for a full engine and gearbox overhaul, which included a crankshaft refurbishment, new bearings, seals, pistons and rings. The carburettor was also rebuilt as necessary, a new exhaust system was also added at this time. Overhaul of the electrics included a new generator and CDI boxes. At the time of refurbishment, and at great cost, the machine was also repainted. The H2 has not been used much due to the owner's health and will need running-in and the usual checks before use. It comes complete with a current V5C.
