The Kawasaki H2 Mach IV is a 750 cc 3-cylinder two-stroke production motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki. The H2 was a Kawasaki triple sold from September 1971 through 1975. A standard, factory produced H2 was able to travel a quarter mile from a standing start in 12.0 seconds. [ 4 ]
The H2 was thirsty, initially only giving 10 mpg, and would therefore need to stop to refuel in the longer races such as the Daytona 200. Kawasaki management felt the extra power the engine produced would negate the disadvantage of a pitstop. [5] In an attempt to gain pre-launch publicity, a "secret" H2R test was run at an American circuit. [6]
Even with its limitations, the H2 was a success, because there were not many other bikes that could, Brown said, "even approach" the performance of the H2 Mach IV. [7] A standard, factory produced H2 was able to travel a 1 ⁄ 4 mi (0.40 km) from a standing start in as low as 12.0 seconds with an expert rider on board.
The Lester-MG T51, also known as the MG Special, the Lester T51, or the MG T51, is a sports race car, designed, developed and built by Harry Lester, and based on the MG TC, between 1949 and 1954. [3] Only 18 models were produced, and only 4 cars are known to have survived.
Kawasaki selected the literbike platform for its top-of-the-line Ninja H2 model, rather than continuing with the higher-displacement Ninja ZX-14 hyperbike.

Founded by Brian Gary Wachner in 1971 in his garage while he was employed as a field applications engineer for National Semiconductor, BGW scored its first major success in 1974 when Universal Studios selected BGW to supply thousands of Model 750 and 750A amplifiers for its Sensurround cinema subwoofer sound effects systems.
The magnetic amplifier (colloquially known as a "mag amp") is an electromagnetic device for amplifying electrical signals. The magnetic amplifier was invented early in the 20th century, and was used as an alternative to vacuum tube amplifiers where robustness and high current capacity were required.
