750cc Models
Best known of all the triples, the H2 was the fastest bike on earth for 1972, or so it seemed. It is still the most desired of the line, the only other one seeming to come close being the '69 H1. Made for only four years, the H2 was (and still is) popular for drag racing, and there was also a road racing version called the H2R. Kawasaki may have helped the bike's demise by bringing out their own 900cc Z1 in 1973, but the H2 was also introduced shortly before the 1973 OPEC oil crisis and at a time of general encroachment of pollution and noise regulations. A 17 mile per gallon smoking two stroke didn't have much of a chance. It's detractors say that the H2 was a "quick-fix" rushed to market until Kawasaki could release the Z1, and Kawasaki had originally planned on a 650cc brother to the H1, but those who own the H2 know the real truth.
