Not the H1r I was hoping to see but still cool.

Those early H1s were bringing good money.  I’m surprised that Rick Brett hadn’t scooped that up at some point already.

Go to Vintage Motorcycle Days or the Barber Motorsports Rally and you'll find any number of them, in conditions ranging from the OP's find (or worse) all the way to concours restorations and full blown customs.

I've also seen the random H1 and H2 drag bike at VMD.

Nice Widow Maker! Always had a hard time syncing those carbs, but when they worked, they screamed

The bird shit will come off with a good power washing. If the seat leather isn't too cracked, you can likely bring it back. They have original leather dye kits that you can get to match the sheen.

I bet she'd be a ripper once you cleaned it up.

I'd be all over that Delta drill press if it wasn't 1300 miles away.

I know where there is a pristine garage kept 1971 Suzuki T500 Titan. It was barely ridden, probably less than 1000mi on the clock. Part of a deceased estate, waiting to be sold.

Is it blue, with a wide 1972 tail light?
The guy my dad sold it to moved away shortly after, then his daughter died in a southern state, maybe Florida.

OP: it looks like a crashed reject from the original Mad Max movie, … so eh, meh, blah. Nah.  

That said, that partial pic of the AMX Javelin peeked my Old School muscle-car interest.

More pics?

A buddy in high school got killed on one of those triples.

I thought that bike was terrifying in corners.

The last one of those I saw a guy was using it to run around an old quarry. He had knobby tires on it.

This is too weird. Just this afternoon at lunch I was having a conversation with a friend about motorcycles.

They asked if I had motorcycles when I was younger. I admitted that my taste in motorcycles was kind of weird since I gravitated towards 2 stroke street bikes.

I had a Yamaha DS7, a Suzuki GT380 and a Kawasaki H2 750.

I'm starting to think that maybe we do live in the matrix.

Nice.
I recently inherited some bikes from my cousin, five of which are triples.  Three H1's and two H2's.  Neat bikes.

I never understood why people collect a bunch of vehicles and never restore or drive them. Why have a dozen motorcycles in a barn for 30 years and never even look at them. Or a field of cars if you will never drive them.

Sell a bunch and use the proceeds to get the others running. Actually enjoy them.

Nice find(s)

I WILL make an Exile chopper Pure Sex Dragster with a built H2 engine before I die.

Offer $2,500 for both and see what he says,  and sadly I remember the day you could have got them both in that condition for $1,200. I made good money buying cheap bikes with gummed up carbs and flipping them in a week.

I agree. It's such a waste and a disgrace to the vehicles they claim to love so much.

I think I sold my H2 for less than $500 and it was running and driven daily, back in the 80's.
