Kawasaki 1972 H2 750 Wheelie jaunt to brothers house Bone Stock Engine!! soulreaver@hotmail.com 

Thank you so much. Had a H2 myself in 72 and it was as mean and nasty as everyone said, but I loved it. Your video brought back memories. It was amazing for it's time.

Wow, take me back. I had 2 of these. Crude and loud. watching this made the memory of the smell of 2 stroke come back. In it's day it was the 44 magnum of bikes, I am now in my 50th year of riding and of the hundreds of bikes that have passed through my hands (I buy and sell a lot, at one time I had owned 11 Honda CBX's and you know how rare they are) THIS ONE MADE AN IMPRESSION. BOTH GOOD AND BAD.

Back in 1977 I had a 73 H2 in Philly. I owned it for 3 years. Mine had K&N filters and the Denco expansion chamber's on it. I raced everything that moved and never got beat. The power band was awesome on that bike. It has so much torque that it would bend the teeth on the back sprocket. It was loud and it stunk from using Klotz racing oil. Mine was also a gold color something like yours. It was repainted with a gold Cadillac paint and was coated with polyglycoat. I sold it in 1980 and I heard that the guy still owns it in Florida all these years. I miss that bike!!! Thanks for sharing your video brings back a lot of memories.

The accwleration of a 3 piston 3 carb3 pipES 2 stroke street bike is hardcore ! On the FreewAY AT HE SPEED LIMIT SHIFT DOWN TO 3RD HIT THE GAS AND WHEELIE AWAY ! nO CLUTCH NEEDED!

I remember mine, you could keep the front wheel up right through 1,2,and 3 ! What a hoot !!

Brings back some very fond memories!!!! Thanks greatly!!!!!

Man that full throttle low rpm bog sound gives me chills. My dad had one of these when I was a kid and it was all I could do to hang on. Awesome video.

Real smart on public roads.

Had one of these in high school in 1975. So much fun. You let that front end get nearly straight up and you can run it easily all the way up into 4th gear and over a hundred mph on just the back tire ooh what a nut I was when I was young. Had the 71 500 and the 73 z1 900 also. paid for all of them and a 69 Dodge dart gt by working all night at a full service gas station. anybody remember them lol.

Don't let her die brother.... 😭😭😭😭😭Brings back so much memories......... I had a 1987 kawasaki kb 100......i miss her till now.... They are precious dont let them go..... 😢

Very nice! Restoring a 74 H1. Can't take in enough vids of what fun it will be.

Hooray! A non candy ass H2 rider. Now I remember what it was like to ride one. So viseral! The intake noise could dwarf the exhaust. So much torque as you came into that power-band. Unreal. Unreal, a really good feeling.

Got 3 one complete and 2 basket cases I've been working will never sell. Well,my family will when I'm dead.

I had one and broke every single bone of my body, they are extremilly wild but I loved them.❤️❤️❤️ For triple wild

Super video! Nice first person view. Did no one else notice the Piston slap in the engine? That's the weird spark knock sort of sound. When the cast Pistons wear down the bottom of the bore gets most of the wear also... The piston rocks in the cylinder and make that sound. Once it slaps hard enough the bottom of the skirt goes bye-bye. That's been the end too many nice bikes. Most of the time you can get away with a cheap top end rebuild... Because the Pistons will wear quicker than the bore. It won't affect compression.... horsepower... RPM.. that's just preventative maintenance stuff on a two-stroke.

good driving be safe

Finally, a H2 video where the rider doesn't ride it like a pansy.

My first bike was a 350 triple. My second was a H1-500 triple and we had several among my ridding buddies as well as a couple Suzuki GT-380 triples a Suzuki 500. my best friemd had a H2 750. those 2-stroke triples were the funest bikes. Even my 350 would shock Porsches Ferraris and Vets when the power kicked in. It is really nice to see one running. Remember to watch out for those high speed wobbles

So then many of you know about having one oil-stained ridding boot. The Suzuki triple riders had the opposite boot oil-stained because the 2stroke oil pump is on the opposite side of the engine on the GT. I made a few friends by identifying this visual triple riders telltale sign.

If only they sold them today. Had an H1 and it was great fun. Had a single leading shoe front brake. Worthless. Better to use your shoes! Forgot why I sold it!!

such a powerhouse and a very cool bike

The 1972 Widowmaker

tks guy-------had a 1972----allmost killed my azz

"Do you know how fast you were going?" Nope, speedo don't work. :-)

Yep, That's an H2 ride alright.

Very sweet

The speedometer is broken! 😂

You'd lose your license in 5 minutes in Australia if you rode like that. LOL

damngood driving

REALLY!!! you cal those wheelies?

How long has speedo been disconnected?

THE TRICK IS CONSTANT HEADING CHANGE TO NEAREST TRAUMA CENTER.

Quit breaking it.

The engine will just climb and climb! Not for the newbie.

Why speedo no workie

ouch

speedo not working hehe lol

Great bike awful video standard

My dad called it a murdercycle

Many People called this Bike "Mamas crying bike" or "Widow maker" you needed 3 spurs on German Highway (Autobahn) this bike had maked wheelies in the 4th and 5th gear....so many mothers cryed for her son's who were killed on this bike....this bike had the baddest Motorcycle chassis ever....faster than 150km/h the hardest Biker get so much fear.....This bike was hell on wheels.....

Hated that bike but I couldn't stay off of it. You don't own an H2 it owns you.

thank you for finally riding an H2 the way it was meant to be ridden!!! I had a 72, the only love of true my life...

Had a 71 h1, and a 74 h2.Still cant believe i sold them

Early '70's rode a Red 350, an Orange 500 H1, a purple 750 H2 and a Brown 900 Z1. Yup, crazy rides in crazy times yet lived to tell the tale.

Those 750 Kawasaki triples were evil beasts! A person with limited motorcycle riding experience should never pilot one. Even in stock trim with no expansion chambers, rev that thing too high and the front end will loft, FOR SURE!! They were not built real well but those bike were super fast!

Sweet..i had them all if only had A single one TODAY...all I mean ALL .KAWI YAMA.SUZ. FROM SM TO THE INSAINE 900..WIDE TIMES FOLKS WILD

i love the smell of these things when you park em....especially when running castor oil....this means im really old

Had 750 and 500 and 900 all built up drag bikes ran 750 on street with 250 emblems on the side what fun that was....un beatable... The good old days

I'm just outside of Omaha my 75 H2 sold 5 years ago but still have a very nice 72 H1 and ride in Omaha often

So much fun waving front wheel ..I started with 175 Kawasaki 1972,but total respect for these widowmakers

Bike dam near 50yrs old and the front end comes up with ease, lol.

God i miss my 73 h2 750 wheelie king really fast powerful bike. Lo ed the sound everyone knew i was coming. Had banizie pipes on her man was she mean.

2 Stroke power band is an awesome thing◇¿.😎🎱☮🔊III[[[[

Flash forward to Year 2021.....Bet you've sold it a few years ago now. I bet you wish you hadn't!

thataway brother redline that mfer!!! 🤘💨 but u forgot rev bomb it when u pull up somewhere..

I like the color. There are no substitute for the feeling these old two strokes give . Nice Bike !

wheelie monster

My buddy had a '73 and it would wheelie in all 5 gears!

I bought a 500 in 1972 while in high school using paper route savings. Rode it everywhere and loved it. Seeing this video brought it all back to me. Love the sounds. Low end bog, high end screaming, and the triple 2 stroke idle. I can also the smell of the oil! I experienced the high speed curve wobble. Not something you ever forget. Thanks for bringing my memories to the surface. Mike

I thrashed the hell outta em, it's all coming back, the front end

very fast bike -no give till 124---mph and still ---------------------going

I had a 1972 750 chopper hardtail and it was the fastest motorcycle I ever owned.

Original Super bike. Beware the powerband...

‘69 H1MIII500 as my first street bike. But I was ready for it because I grew up on open class two-stroke dirt bikes as a teenager and so the transition to the street was not a problem… But I sure can see how guys that weren’t used to that kind of beast horsepower ended up center-punching things that were in front of them in a big-ass hurry… Once you come on the pipe, hang on for sure, hahaha!!!!! But great ride - I really enjoyed watching you turn up the wick…

I miss mine so much bored 60 over expansion chambers I had a full faring body build my best friend worked in chrome shop it was totally chromed out. You bring back many wonderful memories be safe my brother those bikes can get you killed. 👍👍👍

There so few left. Too bad about the pAint .it needs to be the icon it was. Blue wth stripes

Классный байк!

1970s time warp machine -human atom smasher!

Had two 500’s and one 750. Still have the 750. Made a big mistake and armoralled the seat one time .

I remember my 1974 H1 500. Wanted to wheelie at every twist of throttle, just like that... Omg so cool. 2strokes rock

My dad had one, I still remember sitting on it and seeing those gauges.... I also noticed a Quick trip, O Reilly auto parts and hills... You live in Georgia. Lol stay cool.

My brother and I each had one of those. Great motorcycle!!!!

Great to see a Bike from my school days ridden like we rode them, Correctly! Ride On.

i started riding motorcycles when i was 10 in 1964. went through a number of small "kid's bikes" till i got to my senior year in high school in 1972. i thought i was a pretty good and capable rider at that point. i bought a new 1971 H2 Mach III 500 and that bike really tested my abilities and did scare me at times. it would accelerate out from under you if you didn't hold on and keeping the front wheel on the ground was a major task. the summer of my graduation in 72, a friend of my bought a new H2 750 and one friday night at the local bowling alley where we all hung out, i asked him if i could take it for a ride. i did a 100 mph "bonzie" run down a 4 lane stretch of road about 4 miles, turned around and took it back to the bowling alley. my legs were literally shaking when i got off and i could barely talk. i had NEVER been on a bike that was THAT fast and THAT completely uncontrollable under full throttle. i NEVER rode another H2 after that for the rest of my life even though i have had many different bikes up to a few years ago. i now have muscle cars rather than motorcycles and i have a 2020 Challenger Hellcat. THAT CAR is kind of close to being a completely uncontrollable vehicle like the old 750 H2 were. when i remember the days of riding Kawasaki 2 stroke triples, i am still amazed that those completely INSANE bikes were available to ANYONE who just walked in to the dealer and said, "i'm here to buy my first motorcycle and i like the look of that 750."

Best part with that bike you did not even have to pull up she wanted to go there all most every gear as the power band came in

Finally somebody demonstrated why it was The Widowmaker!Keep up the good work,I enjoyed this history lesson!

That thing is fukin awesome

They were a hand full to ride, but that's what we loved, so great to come aboard, brings back so many memories

"But officer. My speedo doesn't work...honest"!

I bought my Blue 750 triple from a Catholic priest of all things and it was one of the most insane fun motorcycles I ever had.

I had the baby... .400 loved that thing!!

Had one that was blue Love that bike the only thing that used to scare me was the Speed wobble it would shake so bad that it almost though you off But I loved it

You do realise these things only make about 60 bhp at the rear wheel. The same as very unremarkable modern middleweight four stroke twins. Lots of hype and exaggeration. The handling could be scary if not set up properly. Period tires were far scarier than the bikes. Brakes were very average and the vibration was epic on a standard bike.

Damn. I miss my H2.

thanks for the ride ................better put that baby in the garage before the cops get here.

At 3:13 he red lines it in 1st, 2nd & 3rd - that must have been close to 100mph. Now ask why they were widow makers.

Arnt motorcycles just the best thing ever??!! Especially screaming Kawasaki triple smoking strokers.... Fantastic

So much for "live for the ride, dress for the slide"

Fun! Had a Blue 72 H2 in the early 80's Could roll down the interstate at 55 drop it into 3rd and pick up the wheel. Grew up in Omaha, been a long time since I've been there. Military Ave and 72nd street still looks about the same in that stretch.

what kind of orange paint is that?

Had 2 of these both 72s, 1 stock and 1 with a Paul Gast rebuild with 38mm carbs. 3:15 in the video gives me the feeling I'm on there. The only other bike that I have liked better is my current 2014 Busa, but even though the Busa would eat the h2 up there is nothing like that wicked wheelie that widowmaker pulls. Stay safe on that thing, but don't let it go!

I'm starting to understand why it is so hard to find these things. Can't imagine many survived.

looks like the speedometer-wire is broken on this one, but the speed and sound is all there.... this bike is killing u for shure...

Hi there, how much are you asking for if not sold already? Thanks

had one back in the day, many good times.

ANY STOCK TRIPLE would do that..if it wouldn't it was fucked up..

Wasn't much of a wheelie, but still better than most of the lame riding vids I see posted. Thumbs up.

I've ridden one, and have wanted one my whole life.

TC 4:17 You set up for the corner neatly.

Speedo Unhooked keep miles down... That H2 runs Great! 💥💥💥
