==Intro==
The '''Kawasaki H2''' was a 750cc street motorcycle manufactured by [[Kawasaki]] from 1972 through 1975. The H2 followed the success of the [[Kawasaki H1|Kawasaki H1 "Mach III"]] in 1970 and was  recognizable by the triple cylinder 2-stroke style engine also shared by its smaller brothers, the [[Kawasaki S1]] 250cc, [[Kawasaki S2]] 350cc, [[Kawasaki S3]] 400cc, and Kawasaki H1 500cc.
1972 saw [[Kawasaki]] release a three model line-up of three-cylinder bikes and the 750cc H2 was the top of the line.  The H2 set the standard for performance, becoming the quickest bike available with quarter mile times of 12.28 seconds @ 110.29 mph.  The H2 once again proved that Kawasaki was at the top of the performance market.  It was sometimes called the "Widowmaker".
