    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1977 Kawasaki KH400 $4000

Probably about right given the 2 20K 750s at the Mecum auction. The least desirable Kawi 2 stroke, but still a fun ride.
 
Bob, I think you're forgetting the S2 250 triple on that least desirable list
 
The S2 had more HP and less weight. Plus it was a triple..., if you can't afford a H1 or H2, go with the baby S2. The KH400 was pretty neutered for emissions. OK, maybe the KH250 is the least desirable.
 
I'd love to have this bike. Wouldn't mind a 250 either. The 400 is reputed to be the most civil of the KHI triples. And I'm sure some basic porting would bring it to life too if the power delivery is too tame for you.
 
Well that 400 sold in under a week. So few remaining triples are apparently diving the price through the roof. I remember the Kawasaki dealer in NJ was clearing out leftover KH400s in 1978 for $895 because nobody wanted a 2-cycle street bike anymore.
 
In my opinion the H1 was a fairly civil running bike. The wire spoked wheels and brake system on them was an entirely different matter. A hopped up H2 on the other hand made for what I would characterize as a very uncivilized ride even after being converted to dual disc brakes up front.

sr, I assume you have Jersey roots then?
 
Yep, grew up in a place called Waldwick. Motorcycles were a natural fit since I was a tempered teenage hooligan. When looking for the Suzuki GS, Kawasaki of Ramsey was clearing out KH's. Much later moved to Cherry Hill for a couple of year before settling in Colorado
 
Ha, one end of the state to the other.... then out. I can only imagine how much better CO. is....
My beloved cycle key fob is from a loooong defunct Kawasaki dealer that likely closed before I even knew what a GS was.
