Great bike a lot of fun brings me back to when I was a teenager , I had the same year and color it was stolen back in the 1980 s bummer. Haven’t seen one since. Still got the key for it . 😎
The S2 were rare here in the UK, i had an early H2 and have ridden the 500, 400, 350 and 250, out of the lot i reckon the S2 was the nicest to ride, the worst was the early H1b
I had a 350 in the UK, and you're right they were rare. Mine had a twin leading drum front brake which was useful after a couple of bends. I would dearly love another one, but the prices!!
Pipes...these things need pipes soooo badly.. Huge reduction in weight and a performance boost- its a win/win. Stock pipes are only needed by museum pieces.
Agreed! The stock pipes would make good blunt-force weapons if you and your bike ever got sent back to Medieval times and you had to cave in a Knight's helmet. These things are already as light as a new Ninja 400; once you take off those pipes and the IJN Yamato battleship anchor they used as a center stand, it's a properly light machine.
The audio is off a little bit on this one can having a little difficulty understanding you there on that the Kawasaki triple other than that looks like a nice ride and a beautiful bike.
The later kh 400 did 103 mph and had a slightly longer wheel base and didn't handle as well as the s2 having the same frame as the 250. S2 350 did 111mph and thrashing it to it's limits 18mpg, careful about 45mpg
I have a 72 S2 350. Back in the day, a friend of mine had a new 74 RD 350. I would race him, and it would be equal until second gear when the RD would pull slightly ahead due to having a six speed gearbox vs the Kawasaki 5 speed. Both bikes extremely nimble and handled well, but the yamaha had the six speed.
@@michaeldavis5775 I had a 75 RD 250 that was a rocket and handled like a slot car. Then I upgraded the engine to a 350 with chambers and low bars, necessary to keep the front end down. That thing ripped for what it was.
Dang son, my 1st bike....with a motor...ha! Love you guys
I currently own this same model and year, all original, original orange paint , no rust in tank, original bore, 3900 miles, second owner for 20 years.
I had a Kawasaki KH 400 two-stroke triple. Nice bike. I raced it at Loudon and Bridgehampton. Lots of fun. Miss those two strokes.
Had the same exact bike. It was a great machine.
Kawasaki Tripe best sound Worldwide 👍👍👍
ant 2 stroke old street bikes that still run are awesome

Kawasaki let the good times Roooooollll right on😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
You guys are freaking WILD COOL DADDY O😎😎😎
My 72 was red. $425 new. Memories!
I rescued mine from a dumpster.
You find dg or pro circuit gives better tone? 😂😂 . These tripples are over the top, Matt did a wonderful job!
I remember the Toomie pipes we put on our Yamaha RD 400's...man they sounded good and it made them run like hell ! PK
Let The Good Times Roll! 💚
I had this bike 1980 it was a blast
I owned a 71 H1 500 ,a 72 H2 750.. did ride a 350 once. Also a Z1 900
Ah the sounds of my late teens.good times.
Rare to hear a 2 stroke these days,shame.
I owned same exact bike- road it for around 5 years it was a awesome bike !!! 🙂👍🏻
Awesome little ripper!

The H1-B was '72 That one's mine. B for Disc. What was wrong with it?

Bjr à tous, good morning, 1973 😘waaaw super motorcycle , thanks for your videos 👍👏👏bonjour de France 😉✌️
God I miss my H1, had Dencos.
Mine was blue in 1973
So nice don’t know which I like better RD? S2?
From a technical perspective, I think the RD is probably a better bike. But I'll take the Kawasaki every time for the sights and sounds!

Dr. Hugo G. Hackenbush true. My H1 had Bassini chambers that had the best sound.
@@mikehancock6280 Probably took 25lbs off the bike too.
Dr. Hugo G. Hackenbush at least. Out of all the bikes I had I miss that one the most.
@@mikehancock6280 There are still some gems out there if you look hard enough- Ken hasn't snatched them all up yet! 😆

He's got knuckledusters! ready for road rage?
So it has been written.✍️
Gold s1 sound correct
when i see 2 stroke street bikes i wonder how many were blown up the first week of ownership
liat ini karena ada di vlog Mr.November
what was the final price of this bike
I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW THAT! God.
how does it compare to the RD350?

I got my 30 days in Challenge
Buddy had that bike in 1975. Could barely hang on when he opened it up
salut
Sometimes you are just a little strange calling two stroke by blowing the exhaust pipe
i had one, would go 100mph
I bet it could do 115mph
Get that stupid knuckle duster off you're gonna scratch that beautiful bike.
S2 oops
The 350 had 45 hp.i think
Yeah, but when you hit the High Revs, it felt like you were going to have an Orgasm.
Paw had one it was a bad mofo .
