In September 1971 the H2 was a direct result of the success of the 500 cc Kawasaki H1 Mach III introduced in 1969. The H2 engine was a 3-cylinder two-stroke with an engine displacement of 748 cc (45.6 cubic inches) which produced 74 horsepower (55 kW) at 6,800 rpm, a power-to-weight ratio of 1 hp (0.75 kW) to every 5.7 lb (2.6 kg) of weight.
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 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.
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. Cycle World's Kevin Cameron explained that the literbike class is "the center of the high-performance market", attracting the best development in racing, with the best chassis and suspension design, so it made sense for Kawasaki to create a ...
With limited time and money in 1969, Harley-Davidson's racing manager Dick O'Brien and his team used elements of existing designs to put together a new OHV racer, but rather than start from scratch they decided to modify their existing OHV racer: the Sportster-based 900 cc (55 cu in) XLR magneto-equipped race engine with a 3.0000 in (7.620 cm ...
H2 (database), an open-source Java SQL database-management system; DSC-H2, a 2006 Sony Cyber-shot H series camera; HTTP/2, major revision of HTTP, often abbreviated in discussions as h2, and identifying itself to other servers as h2 in TLS negotiation or h2c in the HTTP Upgrade header; LGA 1155 CPU socket, also known as Socket H2
The MV Agusta 750 S also known as the MV Agusta 750 Sport, was a motorcycle manufactured by the MV Agusta company from 1970 to 1975. [6] Production total of this model series was 583 machines. [ 7 ]
For example, DN20 is the size for copper pipe with an outside diameter of 19.05 mm or 3 ⁄ 4 inch. While pipe sizes in Australia are inch-based, they are classified by outside rather than inside diameter (e.g., a nominal 3 ⁄ 4 inch copper pipe in Australia has measured diameters of 0.750 inches outside and 0.638 inches inside, whereas a ...
