So it looks like I have sold my H2 and I am already starting to collect parts for another one. Planing
on building a 72-3 with modern suspension but going to take my time on this one. In the mean time
I want another 2 stroke to ride. I know a few of you guys have or had RZ350's. So what can you
tell me about the RZ? I have a 89 FZR400 that is a sweet little bike so I do enjoys some Yamaha's.
Do they make decent power with chambers and bigger carbs. From the videos they sound great and
love to rev.

Yes, they can make good power. A friend has one with Toomey's and some big Mikuni round slides, and it pulls very good. It's all set up for racing tho, so it gurgles quite a bit when not on the pipe. Nice bike tho.

I enjoy my Yamaha too. I have the little brother...a TZR250 3XV. Mine just dynoed at 57 HP.

They handle well and are nimble bikes. Very good power to weight ratio. A very fun bike to ride too. Upgrades are all out there depending on what you want to do with it along with many vendors. Most parts are still available from Yamaha with the exception of body parts. It's a money pit just like all the others though but you already knew that....

And if your thinking about the one Wayne is selling, you wont meet a more honest guy.
All the bikes of his I ever saw were very nice.

very nice bike, light and fast: a great toy

I sent Wayne a PM on the other forum and waiting to here back from him. I see he restored a 72 H2
so we would have much to talk about and compare.

Also did a beautifully restored H2B in MY favorite color.
Others call it poop brown, but I like the Candy Gold best myself.
Bought a NOS set of ProFlows from him several years ago.
Those were the pipes that the a**holes took just one of last year.
I sold the other two a while ago.
Wayne is a good guy. He will get back to you soon.

I watched of you videos from the gap. They look like fun bikes. I hope to here from Wayne soon.

I had an 84 when they were new, had the H1 that I have now at the same time.
Loved the bike, was very nimble and the power valve gave it good low end tq even with mods, un like our beloved H's.

The only complaint if any I would have is up around 100 mph or so it didn't feel stable, didn't like high speed on that one.
As far as everything else it was an awsome bike.
