I’m rather astonished so many people find what they think are faults with the bike instead of admiring the craftsmanship and all the things that are right. It’ll get hot for the rider (apparently not, its got shields and the rider isn’t complaining), the fuel tank is in a bad place for possible contact with road debris (oh you mean like the car you go to and fro to work with everyday?), the fuel will slosh around and make it unstable (Um, he mentions fuel cell, as in having foam in the tank which keeps that to a minimum once again the rider seems to have all his hide and the bike is intact, guess its ok). The thing apparently works, its light and the rider digs it, so whats the problem?

You absolutely rock. Something like this would sell millions if companies had the balls to build them. Exhaust totally kicks ass.
Thanks for reclaiming that song, too. It never belonged with Cadillac and the Bonham’s had a good relationship with Kawasaki.

Great looking,very cool motor and a bike i would own no problem, but how does it handle at speed around the track or road as the fuel load gets lower? The NS 500 Honda was terrible with the underbelly tank.

I like it in bits and as a whole
