SUMMARY

A superb, early (873rd off the line) Kawasaki H2 Mach VI offered in running condition and benefitting from an extensive restoration by the Triples Workshop. Imported from the US and UK-registered in 2014 with only one UK keeper since.

DESCRIPTION

  • The 750cc H2 Mach IV was introduced in 1971 along with 250cc and 350cc variants and was produced up until 1975
  • It was a successor to the 500cc Kawasaki Mach III, but with a larger engine and improved handling, although still challenging
  • Powered by a 748cc two-stroke, air-cooled, triple offering 74bhp and 120mph 
  • Capable of 0-100mph in only 13 seconds, a frightening prospect in 1971!
  • Originally a US bike which was imported and UK-registered in 2014 with only one UK keeper since
  • It's a sought after early bike being the 873rd produced
  • Fuly restored by the Triples Workshop
  • Described in period as being a "scarily fast, good-looking, no holds barred motorcycle" which probably helps explain their popularity today
