Kawasaki ZZR-X

The ZZR-X
features hub-mounted
steering that uses
a two-pronged
aluminum swingarm actuating
a shock absorber
instead of the
ubiquitous telescopic
fork. Handlebars sweep
through the area
that looks like
a fuel tank;
the actual tank
is placed near
the center of
the bike. Perimeter
rim-mounted disc
brakes are fitted
to both wheels.
Touring amenities
include a shaft
drive hidden inside
the aluminum rear
swingarm, an
adjustable-rake, flip-up windscreen
and a large
storage area in
front of the
seat. Kawasaki
doesn’t mention any
details about the
ZZR-X’s engine, but
it’s safe to
say there will
be ample power
if the bike
is ever built.
The rear seat
cowl flips up
into a backrest,
probably to keep
the passenger from
flying off at
186 mph."
