Kawasaki 750cc two stroke square four.
Never heard of this one, mostly cos it never went into production.
Not the best looking bike either but its different and came about some time before Suzuki made the Gamma 500.
More bumf here.

Cosworth Twin.
Company I used to work for was part of the same group as Cosworth. One of the directors was being shown around, saw the engine casings on a shelf, asked what they were, then could he have them?
Basically was told "Yes, but don't come back for help"
He had a frame built, EFI designed, brought over Gary Flood (I think) over from Oz to work on it - even built an extension on his house for a workshop.
But end result was, amongst others, winning Daytona BOTT.
No idea where it is now.

Ladies, Gentlemen and Weeksy, I give you... The XSR155!
It's an actual real motorcycle!
They've turned the fuse-box on the headstock into a styling theme?

The 155 looks better than the bigger ones, it's not as humpy, what we need is an XSR350 (actually what I want is an XSR350, a bit different to what's needed)

Interesting design & construction:
Fork tubes.
The material chosen is also classic: metal.
