My H-1 was a riot. Never experienced any handling problems. Only reason I had to move on to a Z was cause the triple couldn't cool it self enough to finish a 100 hundred mile ride without sounding like there were loose ball bearings in the motor.

I had a 74 H2, of course I crashed it riding too fast. :pinch:

That thing in the picture looks like some kind of speedway bike.

I remember those bikes doing wheelies out side of my high school while I was watching, in middle school. It was awsome.
