Kawasaki H1
Kawasaki H1 Mach III, 500cc, 2 stroke triple. About 60 hp from a bike that weighed around 180Kg.
I've never ridden one which probably explains why I'm still here. It had the dubious reputation for being known as the "Widow Maker". A bike only suitable for the experienced because it had a fearsome power band over 5000 rpm. Once the original tyres were junked, I believe the handling improved considerably. An absolute wheelie machine with a range that could get you to the next town (just) the fuel economy was about 30mpg!
Impractical but exciting.
