that 550 is pretty hard to ignore. Some hot bikes this time round. FZR looks a bit too modern for my flavor it's an interesting transformaion but i like the stock look/paint so much it's hard for me to swallow. Just my opinion.

Build bikes to ride, not to look at!
All I have say is check the build thread on that H2. It's more than just lipstick and eyeshadow. Everything on that bike has been extensively modified/customized including the motor and internals, custom pipes, Intakes and all the machining and forethought put in to make everything work .
It doesn't just look the part, it will absolutely eat any of these bikes on the street!!

It looks fast I am sure it's a performer. It looks alot like a streetfighter bike to me seems like alot of work to turn a classic cycle into a modern streetfighter. What is the motor out of?

The 550 has an uphill climb since a 550 won last month any other month this wouldn't be so hard

Sorry!
I know. Not everyone is into these things. Some bikes are pretty.
Some are beasts.
This is a Beauty of a Beast!!
Kawasaki h2 750 Triple 2 stroke. Bad in the day... even badder today!!
Trevor and his buds have created a modern update on a machine that's better in every way! The "Widowmaker" frightened the best of them back in the early 70's!
There's not an inch of that bike that hasn't been modified or massaged! All for performance! This thing is a killer, boyz!! Check out the build thread. 2 stroke lover or not... it's amazing!! 8)

Got to vote for Trevor's Kawayamazuki - it's black, it's beautiful, it's scary, it's a thorough quality build, and best of all it's a two-stroke!!!

admittedly not very familiar with those. I'd like to ride one. So for those in the know how does that motor performance wise compare to those watercooled 2 stroke suzuki 750 triples

The Suzuki was the Water Buffalo, the Kawasaki was the Widowmaker - this is the Widowmaker on steroids!

Hey, it's ok axeugene27. The 2 stoke fraternity is a little, er... ah... different!
In stock trim, the Suzuki is heavier, smoother, quieter and a little slower. It's a really cool bike with a very strong following. They can be hotted up nicely and make a cool project.
The Kawasaki was noisy, rattly, smokey, quick and handled like there was a hinge in the middle of the frame. When pushed a little to hard in a corner, tank slappers weren't an uncommon occurrence. I loved it!! I had a '74 h2b back in '77. It was actually my first street bike. Scary fun! I lived to tell the tail though.
This is the kind of bike you either love or.... love not so much. I can't say "hate" cause I don't think anybody really hates 'em. Except my wife maybe.
Like I said earlier, ALL of these machines up for "Bike of the Month" are worthy of the title!! Beautiful creations that speak of the vision, talent, skill, determination and creativity of their owner/builders. 8)
I salute you all!

Drewski - don't forget that under even mild acceleration the Kawa could float the front wheel without you realising, which could become interesting if a corner appeared!
I had a new Mach III in '69 and lived to tell the tale.
