I grew up on Kawasaki triples. I went from a Honda 160 to a '71 Mach III 500 and lived to tell about it!!!
Totaled 3 of them in '71 learning how to go fast. Thank God for Bell Star Helmets, or I would not be here!!!
Nothing, I repeat Nothing gives you the sense of maximum acceleration like a "72 H2 750 triple does!!!!
Fins ringing, carbs howling, front wheel 4 feet in the air, back tire spinning, frame flexing and that was a stocker.
Now bolt on some 34mm Mikunis, Denco 120HP cylinders, and Denco expansion chambers It was liftoff!!
Now remember this was back in 1973. Since I was low man on the totem pole back then, I got to wash the blood and hunks of flesh off all the crashed H2's at the shop I worked at. We lost customers left and right on the 500's and 750's back then. Only bike that came close to hurting that many customers was the first years of the GSXR1100's!!!
MAKES ME WANT TO PUT MY H2 BACK TOGETHER AGAIN!!!!!
My H2 back in 1974!!!

Les i liked your post better last night when there was no pic :ohmy:
So far the first time i found an h2 i was buying four bikes from a guy 76 kz750 83 virago and 81 xj650 plus he had a 74 h2 when i pulled up with a trailer though the h2 was gone and he knocked the $75 he sold it for off the price.. There was one just outside of town that i hounded the owner on and off for two years over until I rode by again to see the scrap hauler loading it and a few farm implements up to be crushed the owner wouldn't take any offer and the scrap company wouldn't either. And then this one.
Everyone in my network of contacts knows where a cb750 kz750 900 or 1000 is hell i get old yamaha and suzuki thrown at me a lot, but all the H2 finds are few and far between, and way out of my price range (5k for a junk no title locked motor) or gone before i can get ther.
Rant over for now, double time and a half today happy new year

Love to hear them spitting out of those expansion chambers.
Grew up riding big bikes that I couldn't touch the ground on with my late brother.
Guy down here had a litle 250 hopped up to the max and was taking money from the bigger bikes running them 1/8 mile.
Great looking bike you have there.
