I think they did a great job. I mean, look at what they started with!

And, if it is produced it will need the following at a minimum:

Rear fender.
Noise compliant exhaust with cat.
Directional signals

I don't think they intend to produce it.

It looks like someone got drunk and went.... "We'll put one muffler here, one here (and as falling) the other one Here!" Talk about sporadic locations!

My best guess is its 2into1 and 2 singles and I bet it sounds unruly.  [evil]

The bike was build as a "tribute" to the 1970 Kawasaki HR1 3 cylinder Grand Prix bike that had 3 exhaust pipes.
I guess they were trying to work that into this bike.

I only have 2 things to share.

1. I don't like the frame on this.

2. The tribute bike reminds me of this.
