I've got that issue too...very nice indeed. There is also an earlier issue that has the 71 H1A as the "centerfold". 8-)

The H2 was touted as a "Tourer" back in the day, even by Kawasaki, in their own brochure. While I did several 1000 mile + trips on my H2, nothing could be further from the truth!!! :crazy:

Yes, in the Popular Science review of H2, the author concluded it was a great touring machine. The descriptions of power and speed in that article were part of what convinced me I needed one. The photos of the three exhaust pipes coming out of the cylinders instead of the heads, and the wide expanse of cooling fins also helped. They have that issue on file on their web site.
