The H1 is 500cc. My H2 is an early 1972 750, actually built in late 1971, rated from the factory at 74hp. There is no H3. There was an S3, which was 400cc.
The cylinders on mine are the originals, now on the 4th overbore, so it's a 790 now. I've ported it to H2R specs and added reed valves, my own expansion chambers, and 34mm carbs, so the pull you felt is somewhat tame compared to this one. When I get on it I always feel like I'm 20 again.
For the last 12 years I've made my living manufacturing replacement electronics for the triples:
