Kawasaki motorcycle museums

Are there any Kawasaki motorcycle museums in the world?

It would be cool to see a museum of every notable Kawasaki motorcycle over the years.

Anyone know of anything - in the US? Japan? Anywhere?

I know there is an actual Kawasaki Museum in Japan, much of the Kawasaki episode of "Twist the Throttle" was filmed there. And yes, they have floor models of pretty much every notable bike. And if you haven't seen that episode, here's the link, it's on the site: "Twist the Throttle" in a half-hour

edit...
Ah, I remembered the name of the museum: "Kawasaki Good Times World" - 20 min from the Kobe, Japan airport.
Not much info about the bikes on the museum's webpage: http://www.khi.co.jp/kawasakiworld/english/index.html

Lots of good info here though: http://www.kawasaki.ca/corporate/motorcycle-museum
From the 1956 Meihatsu 125 Deluxe... to the ZX-14

Here's a :56 sec vid from the museum's motorcycle gallery:
