Kawasaki H2 750 Triple 1250 5 Cylinder Allen Millyard Dyno Test!!

[@cramersclassics]

A friend on mine saw it for sale at a dealer auction a few years ago. He said I would really like it so I asked him to bid on it for me. He bid above my maximum, but I'm glad he did. I had no idea if it ran and did not know about Allen Millyard at the time. I contacted Allen and he gave me tuning specifications that were spot on. After a month of minor restoration work I had it running nicely. My hat is off to him. Pure genius.

I bought a 750H2 Mach IV new in late '71. I still got it in mint condition, 12,678 miles today. At no time in the intervening 52 years have I ever once wished it had more cylinders.

[@shaneconrad7816]

Had one as well in the mid 70’s. Never did I wish for more power, it had plenty at the crack of the throttle. Handling was a different story. Nasty habit of wobbling the front end at speeds over 70-80 mph. Added a nice dampener and problem mostly went away. Riders these days will not experience the power band the two strokes had back then. Plenty of torque without having to rev the hell out of it. Had a friend that had the 500. He trimmed the back skirt of the pistons up to move the power band up in the rpm range. Bike had no power until around 5000 rpm, but when it hit 5 you better be hanging on tight. Thing was dangerous though with no low rpm power on the street. Bought a CBR900R in 1995 and it’s power band reminded me of my buddy’s 500 to some extent. The CBR was a way better machine in terms of overall handling. 20 years of R & D really pays off.

He even made a 2 stroke bedside lamp for the real man, saying that real men find electric lights too soft and easy.

Yeah when Allen builds these crazy bikes starting with a factory engine, he builds it up like they the manufacturer themselves would've, so in this case, no extra porting, no higher potential expansion chambers, no crazy carb work...he wants it exactly how it "would've" been made.... trust me, I could only imagine what Allen could produce if he actually built this 5cyl 2t into something more monstrous than it already is 😅 Next I want to see his completely hand built RC374 on a Dyno....

He struggled to get decent ball bearings. Kaaden understood gas shockwaves and invented the exhaust expansion chamber and the piston boost port. During the 1950s he was getting more than 30bhp from 125cc. Nobody knew ho he got so much power. Then his race Rider Karl Degner defected and took a bike with him. Suzuki bought his services and the bike sort of came along too.

He brought it back down some how but My stomach was in My throat just watching. I went out and bought a nice 1970 Triumph 500 Daytona because I hoped to live until My 60's and still be riding. Still riding now but had the Z1 which was tame compared to the H2 , that was one wild machine to be very respected and not for beginners.

@@cantelya53 When those Z1 900's came out, the Honda 750 got an upgrade, (my roommate owned a Honda bike dealership), we bored out the 750 liners and pressed in liners for an old flat head Ford, then bored and trimmed those to fit Honda 350 pistons, then bought a road race cam from Poweroll, added smooth bore Mikuni carbs, and a Kerker 4 to 1 header. It got horrible mileage but would stand straight up at 70 mph! Stock would not even lift the tire. Today at 69 I just finished a restore on a '77 naked GL1000. Well changed a few things like bars etc. I'm always eyeing garage/estate sales for those old Kawi's though, Z1's or triples. Don't care for most new bikes.

@@rondye9398 Hi Ron, your speaking My language. The 70,s bikes were the best in My opinion to. They have some great tech nowadays but no good all around bikes like back then. To specialized now and you end up changing everything, seats, bars, pipes, etc and they still don't have the flavor of the old UJM,s. I like the idea of going to Mikuni's and a Kerker for that Honda. A Kerker in the 70's was about $200-$300 now about $1000. The Mikuni' probably big money to. I like the Mikuni's better than the Honda Keihnin carbs (spelling ?) but might go to that 4 into 2 carb setup I have been reading about. I also had a GL1000 Honda with the old Vetter fairing and hard bags, good bike but down on power, needed a rebuild. I think some of the dealers had a 803 or 825 kit for the 750 way back when. I don't have the know how to shave flat head ford liners and install 350 pistons or cam work just looking to put My 72 CB750 back together basically stock and ride. Not looking for a show bike. Good luck with the GL1000 and your other bikes Ron. Take care, Steve C.

Now I know 120 horsepower might get you a solid 160 mph on a bike of this weight but frankly dyno speeds are usually better than real world with wind and a rider on them. I did hear the clutch slip a bit too. I've run bikes at Bonneville for 10 years anything from 55 to 201 horsepower I do believe your 120 horsepower is enough for 160 mph at Bonneville with some aerodynamics. This past August I got 151 mph out of 100 horsepower with some aerodynamics. If you ever would like to run this great bike at Bonneville I'd be happy to ride it...it would make jaws drop out there. I have some videos on some my runs on my website.

My first "Real Bike" was a 72 H2 so I can say for sure that you wouldn't want to try going over 120mph (without chassis upgrades). My 'daily driver' H2 with cylinder porting, Denco heads and chambers ran 11.70s at 110mph 1/4 mile (that was fast back in the 1975) and I'm not kidding when I say it handled SCARY BAD if/when I tried going over 120mph 😱💀 Since then I have had a Z1, three 78 Z1R and a ZRX 1200R Turbo = I have always💖Kawasaki...

[@raygun1958]

I was not expecting nearly that much horsepower. A stock 750 triple is about 59-60 rear wheel horsepower. Did Allen port the cylinders? They have to be worked. It looks like it even has the stock 30 mm carbs instead of 34's or bigger for more power. Fantastic performance. It must be a real rush to ride and is a one of a kind conversation piece. Allen's work is incredible. I had a blue '72 and a purple '73 way back. Wish I still had one. Thanks for sharing!

I think you are right on the stock numbers. Curt said that a stock H2 750 with pipes and pod filters should do about 70HP at the rear wheel.

Fantastic video! Suggestion for the future: Invest in an inexpensive lapel microphone to keep room echo out of your voice track...

Allen was right, the clutch was clearly slipping @ 3:32. What a beautiful machine.

[@PYakMan1]

I love it!!!! Also Allen gets a clip of vid sent to him and can tell it is slipping the clutch hahaha.....what a dude! Jordan engineer is an engineering god in his own right yet Allen can hear the thing is just a little bit off. That engine with 98 pounds of torque must be a beautiful thing to ride in everyday situations. Rolling on in a higher gear is a great way to ride on the road rather than a narrow powerband. 5 cylinders sounds absolutely stunning, shows what manufacturers should have been making.

[@pauledmonds3249]

Have you bought this from Allen? He's a genius. Makes the bikes look like they came out of the factory that way.

[@MrRikko951]

very nice! was waiting for the -when would he forget -8:10 min moment shifting down instead of up I mean up instead of ... well you know what I mean.

[@lukerabin5079]

My goodness! All that blue smoke! Now I remember why we stopped getting access to road going 2 strokes!

[@neilhamill318]

Kawasaki V12 ,Z2600. People be thinking there's no bike Kawasaki never made such a bike. The same man that made this bike in this video joined two Z 1300 engine's and created a V12 2600cc motorcycle. Truly Amazing.

[@cramersclassics]

Yes Neil, Allen is truly amazing. I love his how to videos too. Genius on display! Thanks for watching. Cheers, Kirb

[@denmann364]

Kawasaki ruled the world with those 2 strokes.

[@tphvictims5101]

I watched the build video. AMAZING

[@GT380man]

The sounds at the end. Imagine if they’d made those in the 70s. You’d not have been able to fight the ladies off. He he.

[@scrateshooter]

You wouldn't fight much of anything in either a full body cast or coffin.

[@sirrick59]

That thing, especially in the overhead shot at end, sounds exactly like a V-10 F1 car.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

The F1 V10 would run to 15,000 rpm (maybe 18K) so it’s about 1/2 way there. :-)

[@RogerBarraud]

@@Dave5843-d9m Try 22K...

[@rfalcetti]

Well inline-5 is half a V10 and being 2-stroke that means 7500 rpm is equivalent to a 4-stroke doing 15000 rpm

[@tinolino58]

120 HP on an extended crankshaft is enough!! Great job!!

[@albertchavez2693]

Geez I miss my Green 1974 H2 , we had many great miles of fun :) may she RIP :(

[@captainsensible298]

That Millyard fella is pretty smart

[@tam1381]

The most impressive part is it was built in his shed.

[@truthseeker8483]

with a hacksaw.....haha

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Good grief, what a sound! Really sounding like Formula 1 great M. Schumacher in his best days. Thanks a lot for making recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all involved people and engines! :-) ;-)
