that 550 is pretty hard to ignore. Some hot bikes this time round.  FZR looks a bit too modern for my flavor it's an interesting transformaion but i like the stock look/paint so much it's hard for me to swallow. Just my opinion.

All I have say is check the build thread on that H2. It's more than just lipstick and eyeshadow. Everything on that bike has been extensively modified/customized including the motor and internals, custom pipes, Intakes and all the machining and forethought put in to make everything work .

It doesn't just look the part, it will absolutely eat any of these bikes on the street!!

It looks fast I am sure it's a performer. It looks alot like a streetfighter bike to me seems like alot of work to turn a classic cycle into a modern streetfighter. What is the motor out of?

The 550 has an uphill climb since a 550 won last month any other month this wouldn't be so hard

What's the motor out of??   :o

Sorry!  ;)   I know. Not everyone is into these things.  :)

Some bikes are pretty.

Some are beasts.

This is a Beauty of a Beast!!

Kawasaki h2 750 Triple 2 stroke. Bad in the day... even badder today!!  :D

Trevor and his buds have created a modern update on a machine that's better in every way! The "Widowmaker" frightened the best of them back in the early 70's!

There's not an inch of that bike that hasn't been modified or massaged! All for performance! This thing is a killer, boyz!! Check out the build thread. 2 stroke lover or not... it's amazing!!  8)

Got to vote for Trevor's Kawayamazuki - it's black, it's beautiful, it's scary, it's a thorough quality build, and best of all it's a two-stroke!!!
