Hi I just got two 1969 Kawasaki H1 Mach III triples. I found them in a shed in Northern California. One is original and near complete. It has a frozen motor. I measured the left cylinder and It is std. The Second one is 1mm over. Its top end is off. the crank spins. These bikes are dirty and rusty. Both exhaust are rotted one tank has rust holes. the rims and forks are rust pitted. A great restore project but a little out of my restoration ability and budget. Feel free to contact me with any questions I can email Pictures. They have not even been hosed off after 20 years. (916) 276-9832 Thank you.

OMG, if a holy grail example 69 H1 is worth $12k, that rotted example must be worth 50% :crazy:

Bottom line, both these examples should be brought back to life, whether a full-blown restoration or just a nice rider, though they will take varying degrees of work and expense. Of course, the current market will be determined by the offers received. And eBay does give you a broader venue for potential bidders to make you an offer. So let's sell it, rebuild it, and ride it! :thumbup:

Here's the other one:
