Those things are very heavy, and big, and long - I can think of a lot nicer homes for an H2 engine!!

Steve, do it with one of these 750 Zephyrs as the roller - a more modern bike with better handling, braking, and sporty riding position...

...or to a smaller degree, an H1 motor in the 550 version:

I have a '93 ZR1100 ( Zephyr ) and it's a one year only bike here in the states. I needed a motor mount and Nigel in Australia found one in NZ as most parts are NLA in the states. ( I found a used one on UK ebay )

I always had dreams of stuffing a H1 in a ninja 250 ,, They go for pretty cheap,, seems like a good platform :think:

If you want something a bit sporty (why else would you put a H2 engine in anything) and cost is a consideration, an early zx6r/zx7r would be perfect!! :think:
