You can see Z1R in that kwack prototype so not all wasted.

The engine in the kwack looks like a virtual rip off of an MV Agusta 750. Nothing like what they ended up with?

Those yam, kwak prototypes are a bunch if ugly dated buggers compared to the timeless classic good looks of the CB....

Which goes to prove that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Its already been said, the Kwak has the clear lines of that timeless classic the Z1R which could never be described as dated, and the Yamaha prototype has the look of the beautifully lines of the XS650.

Or in the eyes of the beer holder.

It's funny Roy that the MV was also considered a straight rip off from the Gilera racers.
The Kawasaki four stroke is interesting as it says it was a styling exercise done in Calafornia and would have been prior to the Honda 750 being revealed. As such the only general four cylinder bike engines readily viewable (other than Honda racers) i would guess would be the Italian stuff to style it around.
