Here's a nice pic of Higgsy (the guy that makes Higgspeed chambers) winning a trophy for his very sweet GT750J.

What made me smile was the accessory strapped to the pillion seat of the H2, on the left of the picture :lol:

Very nice J indeed :D and with a H2 it just may be a good idea to carry a bit of extra gas :lol:

That's a very beautiful bike. I like how the early ones had the sides of the radiator painted to match.

What was the fuel range on an H2? MY GT got 145 miles before it had to be switched to reserve. This was alot better than my old Honda Magna (100 miles or so), but definitely nothing like my ST1100 (300 miles)

Well, if you're real easy on the loud handle, you can squeeze out about 60-70 miles before reserve on a totally stock bike at a steady 60 MPH highway speed, IIRC.

The all-time eye-popping H2 fuel consumption figure for a streetable bike goes to a guy in England who had Allan Millyard add on another cylinder to an H2 to give him a 4 cylinder 1000cc engine....but it looks totally stock unless you know what you're looking at. That bike goes 30 MILES.....yes.....30 MILES......from full to reserve !!! Talk about conspicuous consumption of the vehicle variety...... :lol: :lol:

30 miles from full to reserve? That's about 1 pint every 1.5 miles, right? :shock: :lol: :shock:

Still, if you've got performance that outstrips a Plymouth GTX with 440 and six-pack, then you're gonna have fuel consumption to match 8)
