Description
Please note: This bike was previously listed as a 1972 however after doing additional research on both the VIN and engine numbers we have discovered that the bike is a 1973 with 1972 livery and the engine number is from the 1974 production year.
The king of Kawasaki’s two-stroke triples, the H2 Mach IV has a reputation that has stood the test of the time – Team Green even brought the H2 name back 40 years later for their supercharged sportbike.
The H2 750 is remembered fondly thanks to a peaky, narrow powerband, and handling characteristics that earned it the affectionate nickname of “Widowmaker”. The H2 was capable of knocking out a quarter mile in 12.0 seconds – faster than a Hemi Cuda – thanks to 74 horsepower.
It weighed 423 pounds dry and topped out at 126 miles per hour. For more on the characteristics that gave this bike the Widowmaker moniker, head on over to Motorcycle Classics.
This example is VIN: H2F25253. The seller purchased the bike through an Iconic auction in May of 2021.
True mileage unknown. The odometer shows 89 miles.
