Thoughts on W800
The design is not complex. Also, the concept has been around a very long time (not just in a motorcycle).

It could be, though, Kawasaki's material's and mechanical design implementation is not up to where it needs to be for the application. Materials has advanced vastly well into the 21st century, but maybe they just can't leverage it well enough for something rotating at that rate?
