Kawasaki H2 750 Mach IV description
Very interesting and unique '74 Kawasaki H2 750 - built as a racer/cafe racer many years ago.
I've had a number of Triples over the years (S2, S3, S4, many H1s and a few H2s) and this is one of the most interesting that I've owned. This is my last Triple that I'm letting go (I have many other bikes and I'm not getting any younger..). I primarily build race and cafe racer bikes, but came across this H2 in its current state of build/condition a number a years ago (I also work on RD's, Ducatis and BMW Airheads). A lot of work went into it and it's incredibly fast and well built. It was taken off the road about 6-7 years ago and kept on display, like many of my older machines. I had plans to change the body work a little and put it back on the road, but I have too many other projects and so, I'm letting it go. In it's current seat/tank/clip-ons set up, the reach is very long. I'm 5'7", but if you're tall (over 5'10") it should feel just fine. Here are the specs - note that some of this information was given to me by its previous owner. I've ridden the bike less than 200mi: - Engine rebuild by Paul Gast (Fast By Gast) in the mid-90s (approximately 1,800 miles ago) >>>Excellent compression - Fast By Gast expansion chambers - Raask rear sets - Clip-on handle bars & bar end weights/protectors - Racing top triple tree - Steel braided brake line - Drilled front rotor (just noticed that the caliper was a little sticky) - Air assisted fork compression caps with a balancing tube (see pics) - Larger rear sprocket and newish chain - Airtech fiberglass tank and front fender - Cruciata vintage fiberglass tail section (I've never seen one of these) - Brand new Pingle petcock and adapter (not installed) What it needs: Battery, carb cleaning, pod/UNI filters, and I'd clean up the front caliper (as I mentioned - it was a bit sticky when I was rolling it around to take pictures). The H2 has never been left outside, the chrome is nice, there is no oxidation on the engine fins, there is a little road rash on on of the pipes, but nothing severe. I also have a 2nd set of pipes (Denco race pipes I think - they've been boxed up for years) that will come with the bike IF someone selects the BUY IT NOW option. This H2 is being sold in AS IS CONDITION with no implied or expressed warranty. $500 Paypal deposit due at the end of the auction and the balance to be paid in cash when picked up. I can help with transport within 50 miles of the bike's location in upstate, NY, zip code 13740. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you. |
