This is my old H2C ( 1 of only 76 imported to the UK ), Have a chat with someone who has had one , They drink petrol , eat plugs , even when set up properly they surge ( want to be thrashed ) at a constant speed . But they are a gorgeous looking bike . Had mine for 4 years , sold it 7 years ago 4 £12K so make sure as with any classic it is all correct before buying ! Good luck

Good luck with your search they are a cracking bike I've a 1973 H2a, not bad on petrol unless your redlining all the
time the surging is not bad but varies bike to bike and personally I'm on the same plugs now for two yrs use :D
but do have a full set under seat in case, its all in the set up style of use etc in my opinion

Owned a H2B several years ago (Below). Pretty much identical to the 'C' other than shorter tank & longer Seat.

The H2 is a completely unique ride, Torque that would put many a V-twin to shame and a soundtrack that is to die for. Also in Candy purple H2C guise probably the prettiest bike of the 70's.

The problem for me though is they just have one too many little 'Quirks'. Crap fuel and oil consumption (if you ride it like it your supposed to) Super Stiff Clutch, Lots of vibration (non rubber engine mounts) fuel pissing out of the left hand carb if left on the side stand, remembering to fold the riders foot peg up before starting, and like all H-Series the 'all' up Gearbox. The worst for me though (and the ultimate reason I sold it) was the surging. Anything below 20 - 30mph and the bike was a complete nightmare, getting stuck in any kind of traffic was to be avoided at any cost.

Now before everyone says some of these faults are fixable, Stiffer clutch springs and aftermarket clutch actuators, Ivan Jet kits etc etc to reduce the surging, they sort of take away the very thing that made the bike what it is (if that makes sense :lol: ).

All that said I'd have a H2C in my top ten Kawasaki Garage, simply because they are just impossibly pretty. Personally as a actual rider though I'd go for a H1, all the fun without all the 'quirks' or even better a KH400, easily the nicest of all the Triples to ride, and not just my opinion.

Took my h2 out around 10 days ago. Not used it since TT 2015! A 72 Z1 got in the way then an RC30!
It started 10th kick on the original fuel :oops:
Buying them is a minefield! bit like Z"s really ,the good ones dont get advertised!
An all original H2C in red with 7000 miles just did £17000 to the first person that seen it.(not Advertised)

Now Im retired Gary, Im having a clearout! Hence all the handbooks going,
Got a 72 yellow full paintset (repaint) with badges and a dealer take off blue Z1B tank that will be going soon!
Mountains of Kawasaki literature and memorabilia as you know Gary having been here many times
And Im down to 25 H2"s but in reality 21 of them are projects!
Plan to keep my purple H2 in the pics above , 72 Z1, Z900 ( My son loves it), 2 X RC30"s, VFR400R (my sons) and the racebikes H1R,H2R and TZ350. Poss keep one other H2 for my son. The rest will be sold to top up my "NON" gold plated private pension! :roll:
Its at times like now you wish you had worked for a firm with gold plated pensions. :D
Only decent H2C I have for sale has a genuine 240 miles on it from new! And sorry it aint cheap!
Retirement is great and I can recommend it!, spend most of my time in the garage!. Just wish i had retired at age 16!! :lol: :lol: :lol:.
Just like I need a purple helmet Gary I prbabley need some Rothmans leathers too But Im really not that bothered!
Lifes been good BUT ive worked hard and long hours to get to here :D
