That's a very nice H2 750 "Widowmaker" as we used to call them.

A friend of mine had a Water Buffalo exactly like that one. He has some extra parts off of it if you need some. I know he has a tank and the taillight.

I love 'em all. I remember when the Suzuki T20 or Hustler as it was called down here came out. It was quicker than a Triumph 650 in a straight line. It had that typical quality build that the Japanese kicked off, six speed box and all the bells and whistles. And all those twins and triples sound so cool when they get wound up through the gears....Cheers..

H1, H2, RD ,GT.

My first street bike was a 73 Rd 350.Back in 1980.
My Gt380 isn't as quick as the Rd, but fun to ride.
The sound and smell of two strokes nothing else like it.

My avatar now shows my two stroker.
TWO STROKES ROCK!

I guess i give a yes vote for smokin strokers.

I just never see any old 2 strokes on the road these days. When I was a lad everyone wanted, had or had dropped a RD. All

I ever see on the roads are sport bikes, nakeds and H.D's. Pretty boring really isn't it?

Bring back the 'Buffalo', or the 'Bus and the Americans call them.

In the UK the Buffalo was nicknamed the Kettle or hot water bottle.

The two strokes in my stable are, RS125 GP bike with a big bore kit (134cc) and a 250 V3, both Hondas.

Grew up on 2 strokes. First I had Jawas, then my CB72 got blown away by a Suzuki X6 Hustler
( I admired the X6), had a 72 Yamaha LS2 (neat little bike and a fair runner) and now I have a early
60's 250 Jawa (street), a 73' RD350 Yamaha and a 74' F9 350 Big Horn Kawasaki. The 2 strokes
are alright but, I also like to get on a bike with some pulling power and has a deep powerful sound
to it too.

Later on, Bill

I dig two strokes for that visceral rush when accelerating,
the whine of a set of Dencos out back, the smell of Castrol bean oil in the air...
Owned a couple of RD350's and a Kawa 500 Mach III back in the day.
The RD's handled well, the H1 Kawa did not.
But in a straight line stoplight race, I handed a few CB750's their "come uppins".

I would love to get my hands on a modded Kawa 750 Triple for "old times sake".

Yeah that's right, I want me a "Widowmaker".

Yeah, baby. My avatar is a pic of my RD400F Daytona Special. I have one RD400C on the road, a second one to build up by spring and enough parts for a third...

Love the looks at the local superbike shop when I ride in to shop...

the kawi 500 was a incredibly fast bike for it's time
it was two gears before i leaned over and got the front end down
still think of that bike
but two strokes don't last long

My first ring-dinger was a 1970 Yamaha R5(had 2 of those), 1972 Kawasaki 750Mach IV H2, ( I have a unmolested original sitting next to the CB750K2 downstairs), 1977 GT550 Suzuki and a 1969 Kawasaki 175 Bushwacker(waiting for me to someday restore). I have ridden two-stroke dirtbikes for 30 years.

Howdy everybody! It's been a While Since I've been here.I've been stuck in two stroke Land and Have Dropped my CB750F22 for a While.Anyway I'm working on a Modified Suzuki T500 Istalled into an 89 Suzuki GS500 Frame.

If I get a Chance Afterwhile I'll post pictures and Details of what I'm Doing.

Dave K · « **Reply #23 on:** December 31, 2006, 11:16:21 AM »

Yes, I like them. I have an "oh so strong itch", for a Bridgestone 175 Hurricane Scrambler, like I bought new in 1969. I had other 2 strokes after that bike, but none were as reliable. The 1970 500 Kaw, almost made me go to AA meetings.

Well, are you ?

Sam

My RD400 is about the most fun I've had on a bike. I don't ride it much these days since I know its life-span is short and best left to short, fun, trips.
