Farking A that is a killer bike. Nothing I don't like about it.

Now thats a head turner :woohoo:

Check out the other photos (there are 5). Does it have another sprocket setup mid way between the front and rear sprockets ?

Looks like they use a jack shaft midway back because of the wide tire otherwise the motor would have to be off-set to get the sprockets to line up. I really like the exhaust pipe and muffler up under the tail piece. Very creative

Looks exactly what Kawasaki might have considered as a modern concept bike of an old KZ1000/900 but like most concepts they are kind of out there in outerspace and deservingly so :X
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

Somebody put a lot of work - and thought - into that one!

The jackshaft is interesting - it is on the pivot for the swing-arm, so BOTH chains never change tension! Without the jackshaft, the length of chain, and the length change due to suspension movement would have been difficult to deal with.

after looking at the pics i don't believe that they have the jackshaft sprockets on the pivot of the swingarm.if you look at the other side you can see that the pivot is further ahead than the jackshaft.
