Post Listing Update: This Mach IV was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown.


The king of Kawasaki’s two-stroke triples, the H2 Mach IV has a reputation that has stood the test of the time – Team Green even brought the H2 name back for their insane new supercharged sportbike. This first-year example has been restored to the specifications of a Canadian import model, which is why it’s adorned in a gold color that was rarely seen in the US.

The H2 750 is remembered fondly thanks to a peaky, narrow powerband and handling characteristics that earned it the affectionate nickname of “Widowmaker”. The H2 was capable of knocking out a quarter mile in 12.0 seconds – faster than a Hemi Cuda – thanks to 74 horsepower (though the powerband was only about 2,800 RPM wide). It weighed 423 pounds dry and topped out at 126 miles per hour. For more on the characteristics that gave this bike the Widowmaker moniker, head on over to Motorcycle Classics.

This example (VIN: H2F-05477) was “professionally restored to original factory condition” by a shop that specializes in vintage Japanese motorcycles, and they do a nice job of getting into details in the listing. In addition to the cosmetic work, the motor was rebuilt from the crank up, the carbs were rebuilt, and there’s several new parts including the chain, wheel bearings, brake pads, cables, tires, and a whole lot more.
