(not mine) Very nice, but way out of my budget.
And he's probably the first Kawa triple seller I've seen who actually knows how to spell "triple". :dawg:

1973 Kawasaki S2 350 triple - $14,000 (Glendora)
"Over $22,000 invested in receipts."
Very nice indeed... To bad its not a 750, or even a 500
Agreed for that kinda money the seller is asking it should at least be an H1 or heck even an H2. I love those bikes but it seems like there a bit overpriced with so many still around.
ive ridden an $18,000 h2. even it wasnt worth it. thats a 9k bike tops. maybe.
Must have been kept in his livingroom and dusted once a week by the maid. :eek:
My RZ must be worth 10K by his standards!....................................D
Very nice bike, but NFW will he see anywhere near that kind of money for it.
Americans just don't care that much about the small triples.
Only way to see a solid return is to ship it to the UK (or maybe Japan) where even the small displacement triples have a rabid cult following
Definitely, one of the nicest 73 S2's I've seen restored. Agree with all of the above comments too as that is H1/ H2 money.
Another pricey bike, guy also has the 6 cylinder Kawasaki and other interesting things. == https://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Suzuki-Other/203092482126?hash=item2f4941584e:g:WrEAAOSwoWFfPvO3
Seller lowered the price
"$13,000 Firm"
Looks like he is converting some assets. A lot of nice ones...
Does an RE5 count as a 2 stroke? There are similarities.
I'd love to do some Wankeling on 2 wheels.

RE5 cafe conversion? I've never seen one. Until now...

Just for clarity, the bikes RDFL posted above on Ebay are a different seller so not related to the S2. He appears to be a dealer. And if you look at his Sold listings there are a few that he's "Sold" multiple times.

Where did you get that completely off-base
assumption accusation? :umm: Did I say anything about owners being stupid? ::)
The ones that grate on my nerves are the KH750 sellers. There was no KH750. Only KH250, KH400 and one year only 76 KH500. And the ones who call every triple a Widowmaker. That moniker was only for the H2750...the other KHs mentioned may also be one year only as well I am not sure.

I'll take it. :vroom:
that 16" rear wheel. :nana: :swoon:
We saw a lot of those 16 inch conversions on H1s and H2s in the late 70s in the bike shop I was apprenticing in. The smaller rear wheel was supposed to help you get out of the hole faster.
As it turns out the Phoenix Project has a 16 on the rear, and a 17 on the front. But it is a 130/90/16 so it is probably as tall as a 17.
Psychology 101. Word association: "Tripple"; Ripple.
"Cripple". It's a mixture of Ripple and cream. I call it "cripple." Y'see, after you drink a few of 'em, you walk with a limp.
"Champipple" Ripple pear wine and Champale. :eek:

I had a hard time giving away my KH400 last year.
Everything was new, rebuilt or refurbished.
All I could wring out of it was $3500 and it took like three months to sell.

I cant even sell my POS. getting dumb low ball offers that i cant understand.
Jim, I was looking at your bike when it was for sale ( I know Garrett did a bunch of work on it), at that time I had an S3A that I got for $50 that was complete, rusty, no-title, and frozen solid. I thought about how much it would cost to make it a 5K bike, and I figured probably 6K, if I was lucky. Fortunately some flipper came and gave me $1200 for it. According to him it's heading back to Japan...................................D
I ain't mad at it.
In the end, I made a few bucks, and had fun restoring the bike that got me hooked on two strokes back in the late '80's.
After I was done, I realized I just wasn't into it. Triples are super bitchin' and sound awesome, but Yamahas will always be better bikes.
Did you sell to the pushy guy in SoCal who's the "buyer for the vintage resto shop specifically prepping bikes for Japanese investors"? I can't remember his name but he blew my phone up and was pissed I wouldn't sell to him.
Haha.
No, this was a local guy from Renton "*** buys bikes". Actually pretty easy to deal with. I did alright considering most of the bikes I sold him were attained for next to nothing! Wasn't till after they were gone that I realized :umm: there went one of my parts bikes with a lot of good stuff on them....................D
I once sold a CB400F to a broker for twice what I paid. He said it was going back to Japan. I let it go because however cool it was, my RZ was quicker, faster, handled and braked better. I was young and foolish then...I feel old and foolish now. -They might be Giants
