2004 Yamaha R1
This 2004 Yamaha R1 combines the modern looks of the Yamaha with retro '50s-style pinstripe graphics of a House of Kolor black base. The dark red leather seat is made by Bull Original and has the famous tuning forks molded in. The high gloss finish of the passenger seat matches the paint and could easily be mistaken for a seat cowl. hlins rear suspension, nitrous, a 10-inch Works Sport swingarm and 240 tire on Performance Machine wheels complete the look for a totally tricked-out Yami.

2006 KTM Super Duke

Kawasaki ZX-10
JZ's 50 Cents: "I can't help but to think of Godzilla when checking out this ZX-10. Looking closer at the bike, there are tons of performance modifications that make this fast bike go just that much faster. With all the speed cameras we encountered in Japan, I wonder where a big-bore beast like this Kawi has the room to stretch its legs."
