YOU'RE KILLIN ME SMALLS

I have family in Covington, but it is still a bit of a drive to Savannah...otherwise...

That guy is either faking it or clueless. If it's the latter, go buy it.

With that mileage, the bottom end should be sound.
2 cycles are so easy to work on!
Simple slide type carbs.
Looks very clean.

Oh, wait, were we supposed to dissuade you?!

i'm too naive to know the difference. the start of this quest was so that I could have a second old bike to work on and "learn how to wrench" i fell upon the H2 because people suggested i go with a 2 stroke, and I really like the power they pack into a small package. This is just PERFECT. if he's faking it, what should I watch out for?

1. Carbs need cleaning...already noted
2. Look inside tank for crud, but I would not have the heart to offer less
3. All new fluids would be expected and likely new rubber
4. Check oil injection output before running the engine more than a few seconds...or run pre-mix in the tank until you check.

MrP, normally I’d try to be obliging and talk you out of it by telling you what a lethal package the H1 is, how you can’t keep the front wheel on the ground, blah, blah, blah. But ... you want to practice wrenching, and you want to do it on something fun, and $1500? Give the man a cheque (sorry, check).

i think this one is an h2 actually...the more powerful version.

HAH. I'm gonna die...:rofl:

You are no more helpful than I!

crud. first suspicious issue: the telephone number on the ad leads to a gas station. I've already sent something in to the email.

 

[peterbaron]

If real, just fuc.... BUY IT NOW, worry later

 

[SportsterDoc]

Well, keep us posted

 

[The A-man]

It should be worth at least double that price!

Until I clicked on the link, I thought you meant THIS Kawasaki H2:

Ninja H2

Now, that would be a terrible mistake. If the '72 works out, BUY IT!

 

[use2b_imp]

I would buy that in a heart beat , but they are too scary to ride.
Resale could go - $8 K

Just be sure to lean far forward when leaving the line!

Well, as that bike sits, even if it needs work, it’s worth $10k or more. So, either it’s a scam, or the dude just doesn’t know. You have to see the bike, not fall for PayPal scams, etc. I’d buy it in a minute.

If this is a legitimate sale... buy it! $1500 is a steal. You could do the necessary maintenance and keep it or sell it for $8-10,000. If the VIN shows it’s an early production; $12-20,000 is what they’re selling for.

Good luck!
