What a trip!!!!

I know these bikes are not KZ's. But a Kawasaki 2 stroke triple chopper!!!!!!!! They don't weigh much at all. I still got a Denco 120HP H2 motor stashed in my parts collection. It would almost be like riding a laydown dragster!!!!

Pull up in front of a biker bar with one of these!!!





1972 H2 750 Cafe Racer built in 1974.
1976 KH400 Production Road Racer.
1979 Kz1000 MK. II Old AMA/WERA Superbike.
1986 RG500G 2 stroke terror.
1986 GSXR750RG The one with the clutch that rattles!

Up in the hills near Prescott, Az.

Those are all pretty cool. I'm not a chopper guy, but those are different to say the least. Then there is Paul Gast and Dave Shultz. I actually held one of those Pro Stock cylinders in my hands and looked at it back in 1981 in Fremont, CA and I saw the secret porting? Well I saw a cylinder, couldn't see anything magical, but there was something there.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

After riding a couple of well set up H2's, a rigid 750 2 stroke triple road bike would have to be one of the stupidest things i've ever seen....
It may kinda look cool {first bike pictured}, but look at the footpeg position, I want to see that thing ridden fast, {or at all really} .... :huh:

Speaking of triples, I dragged two of them home in the last month..

first one was one owner barn find, crusty, has 150psi in each cyl and runs healthy up on the center stand






second bike was purchased from a member here and will combine best of parts and make one decent runner

Great find!!!! Now the second one is a perfect candidate to build your own H2 chopper!!!!! Bet you could find some of the parts you need in Foster's attic.

Too bad A&B Cycle Exchange got torn down. 10 to 1 Uncle Jack had a Amen Savior frame for an H2 buried somewhere in his back room!!! Did you ever get to go in Uncle Jack's back room, or even better yet the basement at A&B!!!!!!
