1974 Kawasaki 750 H2 - Excellent, Very Original, 11K Miles - $15,975
For sale in the Bayview of SF on Craigslist. Excellent photos if an amazing machine, more horsepower than the frame or brakes could handle but that’s part of the fun.
From the ad, Very collectable and an exceptional find, this 11K original mile Kawasaki H2B benefitted from a partial restoration some time ago and has seen very limited use and careful storage since. Purchased from a personal collection in Italy and imported by us into California in 2016.
Considered by many to be the best year for the H2, the 1974 model features a more tractable, but still awesome, motor and more stable handling than earlier models. This particular bike shows beautifully in the rare metalflake candy green factory original color.
Overall condition is super clean, very original and in excellent running order. Minor weathering and aging only. Odometer shows 10,158 miles (16K kilometers) and the bike is basically stock. Well maintained from new and currently in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition.
Partially restored in 2005 keeping the paintwork all original, stored indoors since then. The motor was redone at that time with new crank, rods and pistons from Wiseco (first overbore). Has done only 1500 km since rebuild and starts, runs and rides perfectly.
This bike is a legend. Introduced after the huge success of the 500cc H1 triple, the 750cc H2 was an all new bike designed to improve all aspects of the riding experience. A truly exceptional machine. Ferocious acceleration and the best handling of all the Kawi triples.
Not 100% correct and original, but very close and Immaculate overall. Sure to please any H2 enthusiast. Comes with current California title and registration.

1981 BMW R80 G/S - $9500
First year R80 G/S for sale in the Columbus Ohio area. Appears to be largely stock with good rider upgrades like the Wilbers shock and handgaurds for riding offroad.
