I was going to like it just because you made the effort to post/find it....

I'm less convinced now

That should be an incredible concept but the styling is horrific.

Should have swapped the motor and left it at that.

I doubt if it runs, but, it appears to be missing an expansion chamber and the engine is weirdly tilted forwards, the input shaft will be swimming in oil if the output shaft has enough oil.

It looks to have a 2 into 1 exhaust. Nice idea but horribly done IMO.

Would that work on 2t? Pressure wave timing and so on*

Loses loads of power. Each cylinder needs its own exhaust system.

GT750s had them as standard IIRC. Seems odd that Suzuki would do that.

3 into four...

There was someone who made aftermarket 3 into 1 spannies... they sounded good. Probably slow as heck.

It was Piper who did the aftermarket pipe I think.
