There are actually a few of these around, I beleive. Saw a green one at Barber in '07, but I think it was a 1250 (750 +2).  It sounded ike a caliope, pipes sticking out everywhere.

Hurry and bid, only 25 minutes left and only 45k. Chump Change.

Gday Jon, there's actually a couple of those 5 cylinder Kwaka's around, i think there's one in the UK as well.
This one is a 4 cylinder.   http://www.flickr.com/photos/breganze981/2594296218/#

and another 5 cylinder...

 check out the website" thekneeslider.com" and you will find more of these engineering marvels. There is a CBX 12 cylinder, a Royal Enfield V twin and a lot of other neat things to look at.

Spare time, and money, can produce some interesting things when combined with craftsmanship.  If any of the three are lacking, it is a disaster.

well they are all functioning. the 48cyl was just a bunch of spare #$%* laying around, the guy around it is Rick Brett who i personally know from my 2-stroke stuff. nice guy, dont bet against him at billiards though.  ;D. These are my bike of choice the kawi triples.

I took these pics at deals gap in 03. Clive did ride it through the gap a few times.

I met Rick Brett up north in Michigan a couple of years ago. Him and his Chums pulled my Son and I over on our Honda 750's around Cedar Mi in their pickup truck and asked if we would like to see some old Japanese bikes. Took me to his house and warehouse and was blow away by all the triples he had around plus some Z1900's and other good stuff.The Guy is a genuinely nice person and a real expert on triples. Had to go buy a couple triples of my own afterwards :D

allen millyard is a toolmaker from the uk who builds mutant bikes in his garage at home with suprisingly little equipment. hes made loads of 5 cyl kawazakis but also a v8 z1 a v12 z1300 (2600) and a v twin honda ss50! the most impressive is the bike he handbuilt around a v10 dodge viper engine he bought off ebay!!! (check out youtube)
