H2 - 750 1972

Ah!! The H2! Brings back memories. In high school, use to trade my 70 Charger for a kids H2 for the day. They are a hoot to ride, in a straight line. Don't think they where much for cornering prowness. Will ask question today at the shop to see where it's downfalls are.

Just got back from the bike shop, solved the industries problems, talked about the old AJS, Matchless, Triumph, Norton days. It all got started because of the H2 question??? Bob said very solid motor, only produced about 7 to 8 more horse than the 500 but had more midrange. Biggest thing to look for, what he called Kevin Cameron's brior patch of weak links. After sitting for a while, the cranks will rust, bearings will pit, and seals will dry out. Have to take a close look at it's history. I know if I could find one that's been riden daily, I'd probably have one in the stable.

To bad old fast bikes didn't appreciate like the old fast cars! What would you say that Cuda's worth today? $50,000
H2 Kawi $3000 for a cherry one.

Boy, It seems like it was just yesterday. Those things look absolutly prehistoric.

The old guy at the shop talks about the old 500 going into a head shake about 105/110. Back then you would just ride though them. Now a days, if your bike shakes, its a real pucker factor.
