An early H1 with a 90+hp case reed H2 motor, rubber mounts, cross over pipes, braced swing arm, braced frame, quality aftermarket shocks, large diameter forks (but not too big) stainless fenders, a big drum brake with air intake scoops, stock seat, basically stock look with a fun motor to ride. And excepting the case reed, very doable.

Oh no, I gotta post a few.....

1. Britten V1000.

2. 1982 Suzuki GS650G...The Katana version of it. Not sure why, but I LOVE the styling...big round headlight and sporty lines. The 1100 would have looked SO much better with that round headlight.

3. A yet to be built frankenstein where I take two Kawasaki F5 Bighorn engines and graft them together, ....a rotary valved twin sort of like the avenger, but with 700cc displacement, speed kit carbs, "skunk works" ram tuned intakes, and twin "whispering smith" low chambers. The rest of it would be a cafe style deal. Yeah.

4. KX500 engine in a ninja 250 chassis....

I could go on.... :mrgreen:

I dreamed about every bike I've owned except one. A 77 KZ400 turd. I quit riding for 20 plus years because of that bike. I've recovered thankfully. I think my H2's past, present and future are my dream bike. Just something about the silly powerband and healthy two stroke power setting on painted spaghetti.
