Paul LeClair garage rebuild finished and new bike project - non Laverda

[chrisk]

The H2 was a 750cc 2-stroke triple from the early 1970's, wasn't it?

As far as that modern supercharged 4-stroke missile is concerned: The H2 is the street version, whereas the H2R is the track version with slick tyres, no lights, mirrors, hooter, etc. I dunno whether there's any difference in the engine or suspension specs, but I reckon you could google it if you wanna know the details.

2stroke H2 is correct

The bloke on the Kawasaki stand I met told me they were chalk and cheese.
And the H2R was worth euro 50.000 back then.

I think, without Google, the H2R was turbocharged-supercharged aspirated. But could be wrong.

Think the H2R is mapped and rejigged - illegal to use them on the street anywhere on the planet. For obvious reasons!!

Remember when some old codger would ask 'What would you do if you got a blowout at 100mph on your Laverda superbike? These motorcycles are too fast and too powerful these days!!' ... now it's 'What would you do if a rabbit or a dog ran out in front of when you're doing 400kph on your Kawasaki H2R?!'

Hi Marty

remember those rides with you very well, I thought the Laverda 1200 was doing very well keeping up with the ZX14 under your tender (flogging) mercies.......

typical Calgary Alberta spring weekend here, was 21 Celsius yesterday (Saturday) got the ZX 14 out, Sunday morning woke up to heavy snow falling and continuing to fall, so back out into the garage for the day to day. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/weather/t...est-day-of-the-year/ar-BB1fLmHv?ocid=msedgdhp

Some further progress on the H2 SX SE below. Parts are arriving by couriers fast and furious.......

not neglecting the Laverda triples, a new and tinted wind screen just arrived for the Laverda RGS Executive from Gustavson's at https://bikescreen.com/
