    Hearing this bike rev is terrifying, riding one must be the scariest thing in the world. Look at the guys face as he revs it up, no joking around, not even a smile. A rider that disrespects this much power will pay the price. That being said, I still want to ride one.

    Never road a KR750 but back in the day when I worked at a Kawasaki dealer a guy there had an H2 750 with pipes, carbs, and ported cylinders. It was trick. I road it one time and I got over it. The whole time I was on it I knew it was thinking of how bad it would like to hurt me.

    I had one...I had raced motocross throughout my youth and eventually earned my AMA Expert License in 125cc and 250cc motocross...my Sr. year in H.S. I had hung up the racing boots and was working and in '74 I bought a like new '72 H2-750. I put on Clip-ons, expansion chambers, 36mm Mikuni's and had the man who did all my port work on my motocross bikes (who happened to be my Dad the Engineer) give her a port job and added a 2 teeth bigger rear sprocket...she would burn the tire in 1st gear with the throttle and would pull wheelies at 100 MPH...it was like having a prepped YZ-250 but on the pavement with double the speed...I had a blast with that scooter. BTW I used to run mine most of the time without silencers (Open chambers), and my GF used to say she could hear me coming from over 2 miles away....it was LOUD....and the cops in my town hated me...lol...I have some good stories.

    I love how serious Nigel is haha. You can just tell he's listening to the engine so intently- trying to keep the revs just perfect. I bet he builds a mean engine :)

    Probably would sell for $500,000 today. super super rare. Lots of NSR500s and YZR500s and RGV500s, but there ain't even a handful of these monsters left in the word today
