So did they just put a Kawi 1k motor in a BUSA frame?  It looks like a BUSA from the pics I've seen... :lol:

Not a chance it is a busa. This is old school ZX11 frame from like vintage 1991 - Motor is just as old like a 1990 Zx10 -

Im proud of him, years of dedication and his own interpretation of body work that came out of his mind. It was not done as exactly as he would like, but the story of how it ended up was great... There were modifications done during the week to the fairing but it was all worth it.
