COOL find! I have a soft spot for old 2 strokes... Johnny Dart that Daytona is SWEEEET! I have a stock green RD400 and a 75 Suzuki GT550 with lots of mods Had a 75 H1 500 Kaw but my buddy wanted it back so it's his again... for now.... :)
 
Naw,it ain't even worth scrap prices !!!

I'll come down and take it off your hands if you pay my gas !!

Actually, there is a rather large worldwide following of the Kaw Triples..

We are meeting at Deals Gap again in May and usually at least 100 show up from all over.

And I will be at the Riding Into History show at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine on May 21st.
Nothing but old bikes and they are limiting the registrations to 400.
Kevin Schwantz will be the Grand Marshal, The Concours will make anybody drool.

Here is my 72 500 H1B. Bought it new and terrorized the streets of Cincinnati for 4 years.

I was not riding it,so I sold it. $4000.00 took it. Seeing it go was one of the saddest days of my life.

This would be a great grudge match for the tripple !

Thank you guys for some very fond memories!!I also had a Suzuki GAMMA that was insane:cheers: I still have my 1985 gs 1150 e that has a weisco big block {1291cc} that had nitrous on it since new:read2:
 
Appologies to the original poster for semi-hijacking your thread,but you put a Bad Boy tripple on here like that and the old dogs are gonna come out !!!!!

Good luck with your sale !
 
If I remember right with these triples,going fast in a straight line wasnt the hard part,stopping was....:shock:
 
Not for me...I had the H1B

Points with disc brake instead of CDI with drums.

Don't need brakes if the CDI boxes keep burning out.

That's a cool little bike you got.

Is the fender on the front stock or aftermarket? Looks awfully small or something.

I do believe the front fender and alum bracket is aftermarket (compared to photo's I have been seeing)
 
I have had 2 H2 750s One I wish I kept the other I wished I had never owned. One was box stock the other was a road racing bike my uncle had at his shop and no one would buy. The stock one was a keeper. The RR bike was too unsafe for a person of my skill level. I wonder if my uncle liked me after he sold me that bike. I would like to see that motor in a new chassis.
Too bad they didnt make more Brittens.
 
Heres another contraption I still own. I call it my Hooligan bike.
1978 SR500 Street Tracker.
Not a top speed bike,but has tons of torque,and is fun to terrorize the neighborhood with !
Think motorcross on the street. :tongue5:

Dam....Now you guys got me missing my Daytona.....:crybaby:

I worked on tons of these bikes and everyone is spot on regarding the power delivery and frame issues. I used to call them "Flexible Flyers". :toothy8: Fun bikes but easy to get into trouble really fast on.

One of the counter guys at the bike shop had a two stroke 400 Yammi twin that I put pipes on, jetted the carbs and installed an aftermarket clutch on. Yellow and black, I can't remember the model for the life of me though. It was some racer replica right from the factory and it was a twitchy as hell wheelie monster. Really light too. Fun bike!

The only yellow and black 2 stroke twin I can think of was the
1985 Yamaha RZ 350 Kenny Roberts model. Water cooled 2-stroke twin with a huge following. Saw one just sell on E-bay for $7500.00... :shock:

Aha! That was it! I was mistaken on the displacement. Thanks Johnny Dart for refreshing my memory. This was 20+ years ago.
