Not mine, but the most badass Kawi triple I've seen on the net:

THAT is SO fucking cool...what would something like that run to build or buy?

I know this doesn't really go with the 'theme' of this thread so far, but I figured I'd share. This was my first bike, a customized 1989 FZR400. On second thought, it does say 'Dope Bike Thread'. This thing would look right at home in the garage next to Darin's Mtech2 Convertible. I couldn't look at it without picturing scenes from Miami Vice or GTA Vice City. To this day I really wish I wouldn't have sold it.

Pshh god knows. The whole overlapping front fork / triple clamp and anti-dive system is completely conceptual - so that'd take research to hash out. The frame and swingarm would need some testing also, as they're cast pieces.

Otherwise, everything else is pretty attainable.
