Check out the other photos (there are 5). Does it have another sprocket setup mid way between the front and rear sprockets ?

your stock is rising Ron!:laugh:Looks exactly what Kawasaki might have considered as a modern concept bike of an old KZ1000/900 but like most concepts they are kind of out there in outerspace and deservingly so :X
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

The jackshaft is interesting - it is on the pivot for the swing-arm, so BOTH chains never change tension! Without the jackshaft, the length of chain, and the length change due to suspension movement would have been difficult to deal with.
