Thanks for posting. That 72 500 was my 1st bike ever. At 130lbs it was tough to beat me! Sure brought back some memories.
Thanks ,glad you enjoyed it and it it brought back some good memories for you :)
Metoo!
You guys make TH-cam a good place to be. A big thank you to all the team.
Thanks , appreciate it , glad you are enjoying the videos :)
The H1 Orange Crush is why as a teenager I gave up riding motorcycles for about twenty years. My last ride on the Orange Crush I was doing 110mph in the rain without a faceshield, 1/4 away around the Atlanta, GA perimeter from Merrietta to Chamblee during afternoon rush hour traffic. As my brain thawed out under the hot shower I said to myself, "If you don't have any better sense than that when you get on a bike you had best stay off."
Twenty years later I started riding again when I negotiated a baby Ninja 250 as part of a condo purchase. It was perhaps the funest bike I've ever owned. Since then I've had a vStrom 650 and I'm on my second KLR650.
I can't say I am a smarter rider, but my testoserone is shorter and I no longer have the need for adrenaline thrills. Motorcycling is now relaxing and enjoyable on and off road.
My brother had 3.5 Orange Crush H1s. Two were daily ride. One conventional ignition and the other CDI ignition. The CDI ignition bike would dump you on your butt in 3rd just by yanking the throttle open if you weren't careful. 6.5krpm was a magic number.
The H bikes are thrilling three legged chainsaws. If you really like twisting the throttle you can run the tank dry in about 25 miles.
Ha great story … yeah I don’t care to ride like I used to anymore and if I did see me riding how I did when I was young I would think what are you doing 😂 I guess it’s good we got through it and can can look back at things we did , good description of the bikes :)
the sound is unforgettable. i had a 400 s3 in 1977.
Yeah those 2 stroke triples sound so good, oh cool , you don’t see many 400’s around now
Two things..
1. You guys have balls of steel on those narrow ass roads and two way traffic.
2. You have pretty much single handedly, convinced me to get
a Monster!
Went to my dealer today to check one out 😁
Mate that’s about as big as the roads get here 😂 it’s a great fun bike, just easy and always does what u ask it to do..I’m also looking forward to the. Streetfighter V2 , but the monster is a great bike for the money , you should try and get a demonstrator ride, you should check out my channel as I’ve done a few other monster videos
@@ProjectMoto I have watched them all so far. Thats why I said you talked me into it haha.
I have a Multi V2-S on order but after checking out this little beast, I am kinda hooked!
Oh cool ,Mate they are both great bikes for different reasons , luckily I don’t have to decide which to buy, but personally for how I ride and what I’d want to use it for I’d have a monster… but don’t mean the Multistrada not a better bike all round, just wide be a riders personal choice what they need from a bike
I had a 72 H1 mark 3 ,, The most amazing motorcycle that I ever owned and I have had a few motorcycles , But the power band on this bike and power delivery was so awesome and fun,, it would wheelie in four Gears all you had to do is just give it some throttle ,, love those triples two strokes,,
Yeah awesome bikes , I love a 2 stroke and the way they deliver the power , the front comes up very easy on these for sure
Beautiful bikes and a great ride out by the look of it. Brilliant !
Yeah some nice bikes and a great ride with friends , thanks , glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks Enjoyable , I remember my first Helmet was a Bell , then I got a Griffin one , my mate told me some guys made them in Plaistow , still had it until a few years ago and sold it for £250 which shocked me. I had an Kwak S3 . KH500 and 250 and finally a Z1 recently which I had to sell because of job loss , my wife refuses to let me own another :(
Thanks , glad you liked it , nice lids .. and bikes you had , that’s a shame mate about your job… and your missus not letting you have another :(
Great video! Thank you for your hard work...I'm a huge fan of smokers...I still have 3 oldies a 75 Suzuki RE5, a 73. Suzuki GT750 waterbuffalo, and a Kawasaki bighorn 350 flattracker. A couple 4strokers too, 78 XR80 Honda, a 62 Honda dream 305, and a garden tractor 🚜 with a Yamaha virago 750cc v-twin stuffed in for pulling a weighted sled....from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸🤠
Thanks a lot, appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it, Awesome collection of bikes you have, will have a few classic bike videos coming up, thanks 😊
Love a classic bike! As far as the neck fan is concerned, the jokes on everyone else. On a 28 degree plus day, those are what's known as a "game-changer"!!
Yeah I love em too, tbh as a biker you think oh it’s a nice day il go out for I ride.. for me around 20 degrees is nice, when you get near 30 degrees it’s a bit too much
Had the exact same H1 500 plus many more 500 triples over the years, including the original 69' model.
Nice , they are such coo!, interesting 😜 bikes to ride still all these years later ,
Quality …… love the bikes & banter 👍🏻🏍💨
Thanks , yeah love em , will have some videos on the classic bikes soon, got a few to do !
That was crackin', cheers 👌. Working my way through your vids - thoroughly enjoying them. Gotta say, you do have some nice roads over that way. I thought all the roads in the Saaaf East were buggered by heavy traffic - not so, it seems 👍
Thanks .. well good better late then never to the videos :) ha well they are ok sometimes.. the heavy traffic is starting to take its toll on some of the surfaces.. if you like pot holes were Corning the market in the saaaf east 😂
@@ProjectMoto Honestly mate, some of our A roads down here resemble the surface of the moon - appalling! A ride around the Isle of Wight a couple of months ago brought home just how bad they are cos they've invested in road upkeep over there. When I think back to the late 80s when we were hooning around on frankly shit bikes with shit suspension - couldn't do it on today's roads. Rant over 😂
Nice roads around here why let cars no them LOL, when i was riding we had a "gang" and we had a Gt380,Kh250, X7 and a mate of mine had a TZ250 in his bedroom, we had a lot of fun getting that down the stairs.Another cool vid mate so pleased i found your channel, keep the vids coming,stay safe
He exactly the cars should be allowed certain days and times 😂 always good to look back on bike memories, thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the channel :)
Excellent amusing commentary 👍 love the H2's . Now subscribed.
Ha thanks , appreciate it, glad you enjoyed it, we have a few H2 & H1 and other classic bike videos on the channel .. you have some catching up to do :)
@@ProjectMoto if i were out on my Rd 250e then i Would definitely have some catching up to do 👍.
Awesome video, enjoyed every bit of seeing those old kwackas out n about! Nice one
Yeah was great riding around with them, just feels special , thanks 😊
Fantastic!!!!! I'm a huge triple fan myself.....
Thanks , yeah there great, I have done anther video on a H2 triple on my channel :)
The orange H1b series ! Ok,no electronic igniction but fitted with a stock front disc brake...thank heavens !
Ha yeah the disc brake certainly does help… not a lot but enough 😂
Top vid and banter bikes weren’t to bad either. Fantastic 🤣
Thanks mate... could follow the 2 strokes all day, just feels good, apart from when you get home and see how you and the bike are covered in oil 😂
Good work from you again, that monsters got enough to press on
Thanks was a nice ride on the monster with them .. got covered in 2 stroke splatter 😂
Brill, I know where to come for my H2
Thanks.. yeah Paul has a few , maybe even for sale …
Ya'll are badass. love it
Ha thanks, glad you enjoy the videos :)
Great video as always, love the kwakas, and as an ex Chingford/Hainault lad love to see the old manor specially High Beach tea hut, cheers Projectmoto
Thanks mate, oh that’s great, was hoping people who know the area or have never seen it would like a look around here :)
The Bell helmet is correct for the bike.
So many guys spend a fortune restoring bikes to new condition.
Then spoil the whole visual effect by wearing modern apparel.
Yeah for sure if you got a classic bike you have to have the gear to go with it :)
Thanks for the Vid! It brought back memories of my Kaw S3 400 that I rode back in the late 70's. (yep I'm an old fuck) LOL. Take care.
Glad that it brought back memories of one of yr old bikes, il ha e some videos on these and more classic soon, Thanks , appreciate it :)
High beach was the place I first saw an h2 and there was three of them doing wheelies up & down ì was on my fs1e funky moped passed my test on a kh250 but the h2 always alluded me.
Yeah I side to ride around there when I was young.. actually had a big crash on a bike not far from there , was always good to go down there and see everyone’s bikes .. and the all have a bit of a tear up on the way home :)
That’s where I’m from, Epping, nice to see the forest! 😊. Visited you guys on Monday morning, signed over the broken 797 :(. Still battling to get the insurance money!
Sorry didn’t see this mate, yeah nice around there!! How did u get on with the Insurance in the end
@@ProjectMoto hey no worries. I’m getting there, it’s been a slow, slow process. Third party admitted liability, I’m going for an initial physio sessions on Thursday, which the third party is being billed for. Once those physio sessions are complete, then the insurance + personal injury claim will be totalled and the solicitor will look at the offer made by the third party. I’m hoping it’s all wrapped up by the end of the year or before. I went down to Kawasaki in Ruislip and sat on a few bikes a couple of weeks ago and in the spring I’ll come down to Ducati and test the Supersport 950S out.
Another Mega Vlog! Keep em coming boy's. Those Kawk's have faired a lot better than me, i was born in 72 and I'm fucked hahaha
Thanks , ha I was born in 74 and I’m the same mate, they are better shape then me 😂😂
Hey Martin, what was wrong with gears 3,4,5 and 6 on the Monster then 🤷🏻♂️😂! Or do you just like going everywhere in 2nd gear 😉
Man, those old Kawa triples are cooler than penguin 🐧 piss!..still look fantastic today and the blue haze brought back memories 😬
Great work guys 👍
Ha it pretty much all I can show on here up to 2nd gear!! And besides that when I hit 3rd it blows them away 😂😂
It's strange seeing all the speed cameras in the UK. Down here in France they get ..er... "decommissioned" all the time...😄
Ha yeah they seem to catch fire over here a lot 😂
The Green Man used to attract loads 9f bikes back in the day. The crazy mile destroyed a few too
Yeah it certainly destroyed some motorcycle 🏍️ 💨
I love these mates rides vids, the area is lovely. Makes me want to rent a seaside dole dosser pad in Jaywick and knock up a pump fat Sally for extra child bennefit and a greasy breakfast.
😂😂😂 sounds like a perfect ride out 😂😂
Fucking EPIC, been waiting on this them bikes are awesome!
Yeah there so nice, will be doing some more videos on them of riding them, got a few of them to get through :)
If Kawasaki wants to make a lot of of money
they should reissue brand new models of the H1 500 and H2 750
that are identical to the originals.
I reckon they'd easily sell 100,000 of each.
People still love them.
There is something missing with the new bikes.
Yeah but they are probably worried about loosing half of those buyers in road accidents 😂 they are so cool to ride, it’s always an experience, not sure what most modern bike riders would think about them :)
@@ProjectMoto - the riders would still have to respect those bikes even after
riding their modern rocket ships.
There is nothing quite like the sound and 2 stroke power band.
@@Bobby-fj8mk definitely mate :)
How about the mileage performance? Oil consumption?
Tbh I ha ent really tested the mileage performance , I will check next time I’m out on he bike as for the oil the bikes only already had it’s first service so the oil that is in there now has only done a few hundred miles since so it is fine... unless of course your asking about the 2 strokes ... they are drinking fuel and burning oil all the time :)
@@ProjectMoto thx for the reply, and how about the gas consumption?
@@ryankagawa7330 I didn’t really notice tbh , next time I go out I will check how much fuel I use ,guess that will greatly change depending on how and where you ride it though
If you hit a tree at 115mph there would be not much left of yo6
You mean my crash? Yeah still don’t know how I didn’t … I think as I slowed and come of the bike I did.. but I was knocked out so can’t really remember.. broke my leg pretty bad and some other injuries..
That Monster looks nice but sounds so bad :D
It’s a twin cylinder with euro 5 emission catalytic converter, they sound great with the Termignoni system :)
I am a 2 stroke only guy 🤔
I would love a 2 stroke for the road ,but I have got 2 stroke off road bike
I am BEYOND tired of listening to foreign narrators, hire an AMERICAN
Oh yeah ok il do that , hire an American to sit on the back of the bike while I’m riding .. you know how TH-cam works right ??
@@ProjectMoto did you not know you can FILM something, then in the STUDIO add narration ?
@@tooge47 yeah you can but why would I ?? We are English in the UK 😂
Ok, now we have seen them 90% from behind….
it’s usually how you would see them if you have a camera on the front of your helmet .. this is just a ride out video, we have done other videos on these bikes though :)
You guys are alright and love them ol Kowiz's. Love the vid and gonna miss you guys for a few months. Heading to the bush. Take care.
Thanks mate, you take care in the bush !! Have a great trip :)
