If you are looking for something that is a little over the top, extremely unique, and have a bunch of spare change laying around, this might be for you.

Didn't sell.  I wonder if the seller will try again at a lower price?

At the same time the five cylinder was for sale, up the road 13 miles in another TN town, was a 4 cylinder H2 for sale starting at $25,000.
It's my understanding this is not a Millyard conversion, but very nicely done, none the less.
This bike received no bids either.

Both of these bikes were going to require some very serious resources to acquire, and frankly in today's sucking economy, there's not a boat lot of people waiting around to lighten their wallets on non essential property. I'm not saying there aren't potential buyers of these interesting and unique engineering exercises, but right now I think they are very few and far between. My guess is the sellers of these two TN Kawas with extra appendages, are likely positioned where they aren't forced to have a fire sale and unload their wares any time soon. If that's the case, they will eventually match up with a buyer.
If they do need to sell, they face a really tough buyer's market.

If you don't think there are still people willing to spend money on things llike this, just check out the results of some of the Mecum or Barrett-Jackson auctions.   :o  I think these Kawasakis may be a bit overpriced, especially the Millyard one.   Probably, people are nervous about stock and bond investments and some are investing in collector cars, motorcycles, etc.
