Ninja H2R - BUILT BEYOND BELIEF
The end of the world must be near...see the video below, it includes a soundtrack sung by angels.
300hp on a production motorcycle!
Kawasaki admits this motorcycle is not for the street, but I'll let you know when I see one.
I wonder how much it is going to cost? I saw a MCN post that indicated it would be more than £20,000.

Sep 27th motorcycle ride to Fort Valley, VA
Taking advantage of exceptional weather, we planned a ride to Fort Valley, VA because I couldn't remember if we had ever rode our motorcycles through this "valley within a valley." It is about 20-miles long and Rte 678 essentially goes from one end to the other. From the Wikipedia entry on Fort Valley:
According to tradition, Daniel Morgan built the first road into Fort Valley from the north, at the order of George Washington, with a view to holing up in this naturally fortified valley as a possible last stand against the British during the American Revolution. The Continental Army's victory at Yorktown altered Washington's plans.
