1972 Kawasaki 750cc H2
Frame no. H2F-02904
Engine no. H2E07712

• Swiss registration document

Kawasaki had emphatically established its reputation for building uncompromising high-performance motorcycles with the launch of the often frighteningly quick Mach III triple in 1968. In 1971 the 500cc original was joined by three more triples: the 250cc S1, 350cc S2 and 750cc H2. Although 11bhp more powerful than the Mach III, the H2 delivered its power less frenetically and, thanks to a longer wheelbase and revised frame geometry, was easier to ride fast without falling off.
Purchased by the vendor some time ago, this H2 has been kept in a climate-controlled environment as part of a collection. Used sparingly, it shows 4,204 kilometres on the odometer and is offered with a Swiss Carte Grise and one key.

Kawasaki a vigoureusement établi sa réputation de constructeur de motos ultra-performantes et sans compromis en lançant en 1968 sa trois-cylindres Mach III, souvent effroyablement rapide. En 1971, la 500 cm3 initiale fut rejointe par trois autres trois-cylindres, les S1 250 cm3, S2 350 cm3 et H2 750 cm3. Bien que plus puissante de 11 ch que la Mach III, la H2 délivrait sa puissance de façon moins agressive et, grâce à son plus long empattement et à sa nouvelle géométrie de cadre, elle était plus facile à piloter rapidement sans tomber.
Achetée il y a quelque temps par son actuel propriétaire, cette H2 a été conservée au sein de sa collection maintenue sous atmosphère contrôlée. Utilisée avec parcimonie, elle affiche 4 204 km au compteur. Elle est munie de sa carte grise suisse et d'une clé.
