Tracks, In the early 1970's, Steve Whitelock and I were the two Team Kawasaki Road Race, U.S.A., tuners for the now late Yvon DuHamel (RIP), on the F9-R and H2-R bikes, with me going on to the KR series race bikes, 250, 350, 750, then to the 500's.
I just retired, along with my rider, 17 months ago, from a noted factory MotoGP team, (28 years with 4 teams, same rider). I am an engine design & development engineer, have worked on cars and bikes all my life.I have had a very interesting career, so far, all 4 Japanese manufacturers race team efforts, Aprilia, Ducati, and others, directly for Zora Arkus-Duntov at Chevrolet Skunkworks, Holley carbs, Shelby on the Cobra cars, and other places. 50+ years, so far.
The H1-F is a good bike, smaller chassis than the H2, but, you are aware, I hope, that H2 engines fit right in those chassis. Enjoy that H1, they are fun to ride.
