And they fetch more than that, one sold at Stafford this year for around £20K+  :o

And to be brutally honest I don't know why cos they are overpriced and somewhat overrated in my book.. (that is only my opinion)

A couple of years ago I bought this instead of a Z1,..and later swapped it for the 350 GTO Bridgestone



And this is the pride of my collection it has personality, power, its mental, its totally stunning, N.O.S  plus it ooozes charisma by the bucketload..  its also guaranteed to draw a crowd wherever it goes....its the absolute dogs danglies...and its mine .. woooohoooo  ;D ;D ;D

 The "kettle" is very nice indeed ;) don't think I would have let that go :o  the "widowmaker" is also very nice, I'm not surprised you have kept that beauty ::) is it the 1972 H2? can it still do the 1/4 in 12 seconds or more to the point have you got the nerve ;) if I remember correctly the engine was far to powefull for the frame,brakes, and was proned to "mongo" wheelies with serious speed wobbels to boot!

Nah, its a 1975 H2c.. plenty power, loadsa fun. It rides just fine, mind you it has been subject to a total nut and bolt restoration and is now concourse.

It's really a case of screwing a different head on when I set off out on the bike, as it certainly isn't like a 'modern' machine and remembering to plan ahead a wee bit more when using the brakes  ;D

Oh yes, it does wheely very easily  :P
