Here is my inspiration. A 500cc Kawi triple going in a 1991 ZX-7 Kawasaki Ninja! - http://www.fourwheelforum.com/index.php?showtopic=186

I've seen the start of this project and I was really happy to see someone using the Kawasaki Triple engine in a more modern bike! This engine is awesome and everyone deserves to ride one in his or her lifetime. It's really an insane engine for its time! I'm sure when I put that engine in my Aprilia chassis and start riding it that I'll be able to keep up with most every sport rider out there on the road. Yeah I know I won't have a chance to keep up with someone who is using 85% of their inline 4 engine power from like a newer Suzuki or Honda, Kawasaki BUT in the turns and in real life rod riding this 500cc triple will keep up just fine. Hell, if I can keep up with my sport riding friends hauling a$$ on the fwy and some back roads on a V-strom 650 than I can do it on an Aprilia bike powered by a 3 cylinder triple. :lol:
