Glorious noise! But I wonder how it would sound if there were air filters fitted? And will the engine survive without them?

Seems to be a Millyard one.

Perhaps just an initial fire up, would not be wise running without air filters.

Would be interesting to see what exhaust system it has on it.

Lost interest in mine, just fed up with all the hassles getting it registered and now insured.

Latest problem seems to be that the Reg No comes back to insurers as "not a motorcycle" and trying to get a quote online the model "H2A" does not appear on the list of possible models.

I despair at the moment, totally, utterley fed up and wish I had never bought it to be honest.

V5 says Kawasaki H2C / Historic Vehicle.

DVLA online agrees with the V5.

Insurers insist otherwise.

Going to leave it a week or two, perhaps my interest might be re ignited.

Tried that, they said there is an H1 on their system but no H2.

I know nothing about Japanese motorcycles so forgive my ignorance, but you said in your first post “ H2A does not appear on the list of possible motorcycles “ and on the later post the V5c says H2C. Is it possible the Insurer is looking for something that doesn’t exist instead of what the DVLA have listed?

No. Kawasaki 750 Triples were designated H2A, H2B and H2C.

The A being the first and scariest version, the C being the latest one and a bit tamer.

H2C is what's on the V5.

Sorry my posts were inconsistant should have said H2C, mind you makes no difference it is not on the list.

Looks like it just a case of a waiting game then. Ah for the good ole days when you walked in an office said I’ve got a bike, wheel at each end two brakes and an engine in the middle, put your pennies on the counter and walked out with a cover note.
