Kawasaki Sports Touring Concept

By Paul Crowe

Kawasaki Concept sport touring motorcycle on display at Kawasaki in Japan

Some of the guys from Popular Mechanics magazine are over in Japan and one of their stops was Kawasaki headquarters. While checking out the various facilities, they came across this sports touring concept.

It has two operating modes, touring and sport: In touring, the handlebars and fairing move up, the the side flaps open for improved wind protection and the seat cover flips up for tandem riding; in sports mode, you can lower the cowl and handlebars for improved aerodynamics and a lower center of gravity.

Looks pretty neat. They have more photos coming so check ’em out!

    This does look interesting;

    Mind you it is also at least a year old as I remember seeing an article on this in one of the motorcycle magazines quite awhile ago.

    yeh, the Honda NAS is more than a year old, but it always deserves a 2nd look, a 3rd look, and a ….so on until they produce it!
