There's a Brand New AK Parts. No, Not For the World's Favorite Rifle

Do you know what the most destructive object in the history of the world is? No, it's not a chemical or biological weapon. No, it wasn't the Industrial Revolution and the pollution it spread across the globe. No, it wasn't the fart your uncle made over Thanksgiving after one too many servings of creamy gravy. And no, it wasn't any of the nuclear or thermonuclear weapons we set off either on population centers or in the atmosphere.

Rather, it's a basic rifle created in the Soviet Union almost 80 years ago. Yep, I'm talking about the AK-47, the most deadly weapon that's ever been conceived, built, and put into use. 

Why am I talking about the AK-47, though? This is, after all, RideApart, a powersports website. Well, the folks who make the AK-47, the company Kalashnikov, also make motorcycles, and they're just as robust and incapable of breaking as the legendary rifle is. But unlike the changeless AK-47, Kalashnikov is upgrading its motorcycles with some new add-ons, and they're pretty interesting.
