1972 Kawasaki 750cc H2 Mach IV Registration no. FHH 563K Frame no. H2F-13289 Engine no. H2E-13421 In an attempt to crack the export market, Kawasaki had tried reviving some of the old Meguro models, but failed to make a dent. It was only when they came up with the 250cc Samurai that things began to change in their favour. Followed by the 350cc Avenger and then the mercurial 500cc Mach III 'widow-maker', they had discovered the magical formula to captivate the international motorcyclist's heart; ultimate performance. The 500 was followed in 1971 by another three triple models; the 250 S1, the 350 S2, and the biggest, baddest, one of all, the 750 H2. With 50 percent more capacity than its crazy 500 sibling, the H2 spelled excess in every department, and instantly found a place in motorcycling folklore. Although it lasted until 1975 in subsequent A, B, and C versions, its reign was slightly overshadowed by the Z1 in later years. The vendor advises us that this H2 has been restored to original specification by Kawasaki specialists 'Triples Workshop', who rebuilt the engine with a new crank and rods, and new Wiseco first oversize pistons; carburettors rebuilt with Mikuni parts; a new seat, exhaust system, stainless steel wheel rims and spokes, switches and wiring loom fitted; the tachometer and speedometer restored (previous mileage 12,303, now zeroed); and paintwork resprayed the correct pearl candy blue. Following this work, very little mileage has been covered, and the vendor advises it will need to be run-in by a new owner. Documentation comprises a current V5C, and a Kawasaki Triples Club Dating certificate.
