I guess the first picture could have gone under the thread that asks if add on's make things better. It kind of wraps up that discussion nicely.

I had an H1 for two years. While I liked it, I thought that it wasn't up the standards of rideability that Ma Kaw has set since. I traded it in for a KZ900.
I still believe that it was the quickest bike I've ever been on, unfortunately it was not capable of 100 mile ride without the pistons slapping so badly that I thought it had come apart internally.
Pretty much a good drag bike and nothing more.
Of course none of this applies to Loco's first model, which I feel needs more evaluation, the prospects look good for a all around thumbs UP!

i love the triples. I am determined to own one someday. H1 or H2. They are rapidly becoming very pricey, so hopefully i will find a complete bike that can be restored soon.

If that triple was hitting on all three I'm not sure I could hold on, but I'd sure try!
