Y
ou can see the man's eyes light up when
he talks about this little bike. These are
the eyes that have peered through the
dashes of factory superbikes across the world;
up the narrow Armco valleys of Macau and bot-
tomed out over Bray Hill at the Isle of Man.
But this bike is not one of those unobtain-
able, rare-as-rocking-horse-poo racers. It's a
Kawasaki Ninja 400. And it represents a new
direction for venerable Southern California
racer Jeremy Toye with his most recent busi-
ness venture, www.ninja400r.com.
"I have more fun on this thing than I do on
a superbike," says Toye, a man not known to
give unworthy praise lightly. "Whenever some-
one rides it, they come back laughing, and
that's the kind of thing I want to help grow, so
that's why I started the company."
Over the rise at 3A and
Toye's toy is on rails.
What a rad little bike.
