My own personal favourite 2 stroke
http://www.bikeexif.com/kawasaki-h1-mach-iii-2

Had the dubious honour of falling off one,also was a pillion on it going down a short but steep hill when the throttle jammed open in 1st gear,great cure for constipation. ;D

Also liked this,not quite as scary as the 500 imo,the handling was poor whereas the handling on the 500 was downright dangerous.

 ;D ;D ;D never actually heard of that one, know of the KH250 :-[
Werent many of them around,mostly written off and lots of owners in the cemetery.A combination of atrocious handling and all the power coming in with a bang at a certain point in the rev range.
You could be wrestling it around a bend and all of a sudden the power output goes from 20 - 60 bhp and before you know it the front wheel is 2 feet in the air and your heading for the wrong side of the hedge.All great fun. :y ;D
I have a love/hate thing with the little kH 250,still get dewey eyed over them but I have one of those to thank for my limp and being deficient in the working kidney department to the tune of one. ::) ;D

I knew a bloke who had a kettle in the 70,s loved it so much he brought it indoors and had a 1st birthdat party for it.He was a nutter,he got caught so many times speeding etc,and when his bans had added up to 27 years and he still kept riding it,they locked him up.Funny thing was his dad was a copper. ;D
He was the well behaved son of the family though,his brother was a gunman. ::)
