Looks like the ones AJ is building will be the closest you can get to that.

It would be cool if one had the money to take over production of the K5 engine from Kawasaki then we could redesign some things to truly make it the ultimate engine offer different cylinders for different ridding styles, different heads, play around with some derect injection and build are own pipes for different applications. We could build whole motors built to the customers needs. Everything from your pro stock  8-) engine to your full on top fuel funny  :evil: K5 engine

I'll take mine with EFI, and while i am at it, with load-sensing ratio proportionate oil injection. With a real charging system so i can run desert lights so bright, they scald the retinas of all who pass before them!

Considering the fact that people like AJ are putting KX 500 engines into KX450F chassis, why not do that then use the main cradle as a basis for one of these...

Some information on youtube also...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhdZiVM-ovI&feature=related

Its a KX 450F main cradle, swingarm, and engine with ZX6 forks, yokes, and odds and sods.

All topped off with 250 road race bodywork, ohlins back shocker.

I understand it won't be much use on an MX track but how nice would it be sat in the garage?
