Another "Old-Timer" question - triple H2 bike

[Benni]

Hi Racefanz !
There is a bike owned by a german now,
he plans to return it to the strip in the future,
it is not competitive in nowadays,
but he is a Kawasaki H2 nutter (and I would like to hear it).
The Bike is a TRIPLE TRIPLE and has the (old?) name "Rainbow Chaser".

It looks somehow british to me, anybody knows more about it ?
Cheers,
Benni

IIRC Paul Rose ran a multi engined stroker, but I have a feeling that used

Yamaha TZ motors.

Try Kingracing.com or 200mph club there is currently a thread on 200mph about 70's dragbikes

How about John and Eddie Lloyd, it was called 'Freight Train' then?
Time Travel will know.

I know its not, but it does it look a lot like Henk Vinks Big Spender, and that did use kwak triples.

They were Suzuki GT750.

Because they're yours. They aren't yellow to the rest of us.

Hey Benni, I got some information about the Rainbow Chaser. What would you like to know ?

[Benni]

Hi Herman,

I just replied to the e-mail that you sent me and it bounced back.

Did you take the "Barn Find" picture as the bike was on it´s way out of the "Barn" (NO, not THIS one ) ?
The last decent two-stroke bike I saw was built and ridden by a dutchman in the mid-90s.
He took a Zabel 1000cc twin and converted it to a 1600cc triple with one stage nitrous, ran mid 7s.

I still would like to know more about the "Rainbow Chaser" and its whereabouts.

Hi Herman,

great film, rare footage of 70s and 80s dutch bikes,
well done by Joop and Wesley.
Will we see the RC at DraGten or DragStalgia ?
