Chassis geometry set for short wheelbase and proportionately longer swingarm.		http://images.sportrider.com/bikes/2004/2004-kaw-zx10_Chassis03.jpg
Compact engine mounts below main frame tubes for lower centre of mass.

Frame tubes run over engine rather than around it for much slimmer design than existing twin-spar models. Shorter seat-handlebar distance increases rider freedom of movement.		http://images.sportrider.com/bikes/2004/2004-kaw-zx10_Frame02.jpghttp://images.sportrider.com/bikes/2004/2004-kaw-zx10_Engine.jpg
Bottom-located main (clutch) shaft lowers centre of mass. Triangular shaft arrangement reduces engine length and centralises mass.
