holy shit balls.

There's a 750 in sconnie-land right now going for $7500 that needs a rebuild. So... I think I'd take that one haha.

They only made 5000 in 1975 the last year of production and most of them.were purple. The prices are going up steadily, especially for original bikes. Personally I prefer the earlier72s and 73s. They were faster and more raw. The engine in my hybrid triple the Phoenix Project is a late 71 set of cases with 72 cylinders.

I had a purple 75 probably 10-15 yrs ago? meh. what a tank.

72-3 H2 also had a 2" shorter swingarm than the 74-5 H2B/C. Have heard the 2" lengthening was due to wheelies and #'s on those hurt on the earlier models. I too, prefer the earlier H2's! Value wise is the 72 and 75 first and last models of production.

The CL listing is already gone.

Someone should send him an equally ridicules offer $250.

ive ridden some really, really nice bikes, rare, museum quality, etc. a stock 75 H2 is def not a 25,000 bike in my opinion. if you are using it as a commodity for trading or investing, sure, but then its just going to never really be used and therefore has no use to me IMHO.

Ferris was right....

I like my H1 with 750cc H2 motor much better.  H2's aren't good with handling.  An H1 isn't great but it's better.  RD's handle more nicely than H1's and H2's.  But I like the triples!

I agree. Mine is in a 76 KH500 chassis arguably the best handling of the triples. And with EX 500 wheels, forks and brakes mine actually handles pretty good. Mine weighs 408 pounds wet and that helps too. Mark and Evans are right in that the late H2s feel cumbersome between the length changes and added weight plus detuning they are tame in comparison to the 72 and 73 models. 25K is a bit much for that example.
