I bought an H-2 brand new in '72. Was my last street bike. What a monster and I still went and port timed it, went with chambers and 12" stingers, no mufflers. I had to dry clutch it because the power was too much for a wet set up. What a freaking monster. I have riden many new bikes, and they are outragious, but it is more like jumping in an old muscle car, they just seem to kick butt more violently than the new stuff.
