1974 Kawasaki H2/B

Highlights

• Comprehensive three year restoration
• Matching numbers authenticity letter by Kawasaki supplied
• Rare vintage performance air cooled 

The Background

1972 saw the introduction of the Kawasaki 750 H2, with its two stroke engine it was the fastest way to get to zero to the national speed limit, and on the autobahn it would hit 126mph. With 74 bhp it was on par with the car of the moment the Ford Capri 1600L but so much lighter and agile, this was the bike of an era of Japanese performance bikes with retro styling. 
From a standing start the bike would produce a quarter mile in just 12 seconds, being air cooled made it stand out from the crowd, it also gave a compliant ride making it a good GT bike as well for longer journeys. 

The History

The bike has been subject to a thorough and sympathetic three year restoration by the owner, with new paintwork, and completely restoring the mechanical and electrical components.

The seller is a motorbike rider, restorer and has more projects waiting to be done in his workshop, hence the sale of this stunning classic bike.

The Paperwork

A wealth of paperwork is supplied showing the renovation works carried out, cosmetically and mechanically. There is an authentication certificate from Kawasaki confirming the matching numbers. 
All paperwork will be applied with the bike, this backs up the high level of care and attention the seller has put in to restoring this iconic motorbike.

The Exterior

With new paintwork and a thorough restoration the bike is as fresh as you would expect, new Avon tyres, original spoked wheels with the embossed Takasago stamp inside the rims showing there authenticity.
Original clocks and complete mounts have been refurbished by Alan Smith, a renowned bike restorer, he has also completely refurbished the switchgear as well. Top yokes and mounts have been polished to a new standard. The frame and ancillaries have been stripped and stove enamelled. 
Bare metal parts have been re-zinced and re-chromed. The original petrol tank in Candly Lime green paintwork has been stripped, zinc etched and using original colour and accurate Rick brett decals. Free of dents or any rust. The seat is a brand new reproduction unit, not original but supplied by Adrain Critten and is accurate.
