World’s FASTEST TWO STROKE goes for NITROUS record!

If you love two stroke motorcycle drag racing you will love this video as we follow the mostly 2 stroke drag bike class, Super Eliminator at the Man Cup Finals from South Georgia Motorsports Park. All eyes are in Alex “Horsepower” Hughes and Bill Baxter as the men who hold the record for quickest naturally aspirated two stroke at 7.82 on their truck 72 Kawasaki H2 750 want to take at the overall two stroke record at 7.77, done with nitrous oxide. These guys want it on all motor! Will the weather be cooperative? We will also see a ton of cool two strokes, including the 72 H2 750 of Jeff Leffert, build by the legendary two stroke guru, Paul “Fast by” Gast. Leffert even has on Gast’s leathers. We flash back to the days when Gast and Dave Schultz were tearing up NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle on a two stroke H2 750 drag bike. We also see the amazing two stroke builds and setups of drag bike racers “Smokin” Joe Molyneux, David Boyd, Steve Chandler, Scott Allen, Mark Seeley and others. We show you some four strokes two with a Hayabusa of Perry Paugh, a ZX14r of Larry Zientek and the world’s quickest all motor ZX-14 of Rick Steinard, an experimental bike with a GS chassis. We also show you perhaps the most uncomfortable Kawasaki KZ of all-time and even find a rare Yamaha drag bike. Enjoy and share two stroke fans!

I bought my 1973 H2 750 new in the spring of 1973. Scary to ride, vibrates to put your fingers asleep, horrible handling but was exciting to ride. Traded it in next spring on the new Kawasaki Z1 900. That was one of the best bikes I ever had.

[@dougiequick1]

lol you and everyone else....the triples just quickly disappeared from the street. I rode an RD but convinced my pal to buy an S3 400 triple which was a really sweet little ride for the money

[@dagimp4614]

A friend of mine bought a Kaw 750 new and brought it over to my house to show it to me. Of coarse I asked if I could ride it, he sez sure you can. I threw my leg over the seat and took off down the street thinking it sounded like a healthy bumble bee, Wound.it out slid it into second gear and wound it out about as far as it would go. Nailed third gear the front end came straight up, scared the harley right out of me. I hung on and the front wheel finally came down, got it stoped and sat on the curb to catch my breath for a few in total disbelief how fast that bike was, saying wow, along with a bunch of explatives and trying to shake the harley out my pants leg. When I get back to my house my friend came running over and started checking out the bike, I asked him what was wrong and he said he heard me hit third and then it got quiet. I told him I had to stop and go back and get my heart, he gets on the bike calls me a pussy and leaves doing a wheelie. I never rode that bike again

Yes SIR! Thanks for the smiles. Yup, I'm a Boomer from the Early Days. Had a record-holding 750 back in 1975 (10.12!). Paul G, and Dave S. were first-name competitors. I love that Paul is STILL so frikkin' talented and skilled. Always been. I love your vids, you do a great job. 👍🏼

Another great video Jerry! Thanks. Never drag raced myself but ran motocross back in the day. 2 stroke smell still gets my heart a pumping!

I currently ride a Yamaha RD350, in the past I've owned an RZ350, RZV500, and a Suzuki T500. I live and breath 2 stroke smoke.

Two strokes for life!

[@tomcrosby6332]

I had both an H2 750 and a '75 Z-1 1170 in the late 70's through early 80's. One of my most distinctive memories about the H 2 was people in cars frantically rolling up their windows when I came up to them at a stop light. I didn't have expansion chambers, but the fiberglass in the mufflers was long gone, I tried replacing it with steel wool, which wasn't so good an idea. That made giant showers of sparks like 3 roman candles, until all the steel wool blew out!!!

[@dougiequick1]

I was a Kawi mechanic and practically every triple we sold we cut the baffles immediately plus I think we opened the air boxes also and played with the jetting...I remember every owner would come back immediately smiling ear to ear at the power gains just from that little massage. Wheelie time! LOL I wheelied EVERY single bike I uncrated or serviced or repaired down the alley behind Welty's Kawasaki in Los Angeles county. good times rolled ....pay sucked though

[@tfjack97]

Rode a 400, 500, 750 h2 back in day, when that power band kicks in you better be holding the fluck on, it's a white knuckle ride. Most crazy ass fun on a bike I ever had.

[@dougiequick1]

I was a Kawasaki mechanic early mid 70's rode and maintained a LOT of Kawitriples including H2 H1 and S3 I mean they were fun certainly not the end all at the time...Unlike Honda 750 and Z1 etc most of the triple owners flogged the hell out of em so I did not notice many people getting any big miles before engine work was needed...as I recall the H2 in particular was famous for crank seal issues and they were sort of a PIA to rebuild those cranks as they are of course all press fit so there are 6 segments held together with 5 pins? 4 main caged bearings 3 big end caged rod bearings and 4 seals...they liked to twist which caused leakage between the lower ends...some bizarre nasty scorched spark plug insulaters...I'm guessing they weld the cranks on these drag engines? The wonderful thing with these old two strokes is how fast you can change an entire top end out...so few parts...even yanking these motors and swapping crank shafts is so easy peasy compared to modern 4 stroke motors

[@MRptwrench]

Lucky enough to have had an rz350 way back in the day. I still love 2 strokes, but nothing as pretty as my rz.

I had a 75 triple. Years ago and had the operator from a race track interested in looking at mine. I found great ease a- ridin' the wheelie and rather frightening to look back on the dangerous possibilites. The best plugs, fuel mix, -daunting science. The operator of the stretched kwai ran Cox model engine fuel, obvious from the odor. His only competitor there on the Jackson dragstrip was a heavily trickedout eleven-hundred Honda, on at least a high octane racing gasoline.

@@SosopChabot the slippers in these bikes are meant to soften up the launch (I believe) but you're not gonna get around it slipping when going through the gears. Same thing with stick shift drag cars that run slipper clutches
