After the merger of Kawasaki and Bimota, the Tesi H2 was presented on the Eicma, a motorcycle that also has a swing arm at the front. The system is known from the Bimota Tesi models. Kawasaki also worked on a corresponding system, as patent drawings reveal.
The Kawasaki patent describes how the front swingarm is attached directly to the frame with a set of pivoting links. The system should also be inexpensive to reduce manufacturing costs.
However, whether the patent will be implemented in the short term and Kawasaki will compete with the Tesi H2 project is rather unlikely.
