lovely road H2R but the weak point with H2R is you need H2R barrels or cut right left barrels inversed. And couldn't be legal as it in my country. Own a Martin Frame H1 that I could transformed with HIR frame. But my title is for a 500cc not 750cc. |

RODH2: To my knowledge there is just one '74 H2R left in Europe - the bike of the French rider Christian Leon. Here seen at the café racer festival 2016 Montlhéry: The Italian made almost 20 copies - that's why we will see so many '74 H2R's in Europe. The funny thing is that due to the oil crisis in 1974 racing was not prio no.1 - Kawasaki built just a hand full bikes - so they are really very rare. In Australia Gregg Hansford's bike is still in existance as well - it was on display at several classic events. |

What you see is one of the only two 1974 H2Rs that went to Europe is the ex-Christian Leon bike. The other original ex-Walter Villa bike, which Augusto used as a template for all his replicas, has, as I already mentioned, being sold by him to Dave Crussell. Almost all 74 replicas in Europe were made by Augusto, although a very few were produced by Harris for 4 KR750 replicas and 2 for H1R-W (with new casted watercooled cylinders), both in the UK. |
