Just back from my last trip to Japan last night.Looking thru the Japanese magazines like I always do I came across this.Someone in Japan has a Kawasaki Square Four 2 stroke.I have never seen a picture of a real one except for the prototype pictures that I found years ago in another Japanese magazine,so I would say this is a pretty rare photo of one.As I was turning the pages it caught my eye,I said wow,somebody really does have one !!!!! It was a small picture so the scan is not that great but I like the blue color and with a little imagination how cool you think this bike could have been with 4 Black Denco stingers and clip on's !!!!!!!!

As far as I am aware the original bike was "salvaged" after some bad karma and has been rebuilt to be displayed in the collection at Kawasaki in California - I'll look into it a little further ;)

If Kawasaki is behind rebuilding it,thats great…………..but maybe Kawasaki should spend their time putting out a new motorcycle that is worth a Sh$t instead of the garbage they've been producing !!!!!!

It is a reasonably recent picture going by the green seat unit visible in the background. And probably a museum exhibit judging by the antique front mudguard to the left of the picture.

The thing is if it is the prototype there is a possibility that it is a non-running mockup but I hope not.

The bike on the right is an '06 ZX10R, and they are certainly NOT building rubbish. Pull the trigger on a modern bike, and tell me about it!!!! They are not making bikes that appeal to you S.B. and that is a different thing....! :banghead
