Probably more likely than anything else we have seen yet...View attachment 317428
Someone on pwctoday thinks this could be the 2017s because they look similar to the ones in that havasu video.
If they are, they look pretty normal sized to me!

if the guy is only 5' 10 then that hull scales at 8'4" long. But, we are see that hull at an oblique angle and not straight on at 90 degrees to it. so any measurement we are getting is not accurate and may scale longer since this is a 2 dimensional drawing.
My guess is this will be in the 8' range.

I wonder if they designed a new handle pole that will survive, or just use the 92' 750sx pole design like they put on the SX-R... doh

I can think of a solid 8 reasons that our measurements aren't accurate haha. Mine was just a joke
Cannot accurately measure the surface area of a 3D object at an angle using imprecise measurements.

I was hoping you would say the registration sticker since by regulation they are suppose to be 3" Tall. or that you scaled the start stop switch, or even better counted the pixels of the image and determined that X number of pixels equaled one inch etc etc.

I can tell you that if you wanted to cover it in Tuffplank 6Mil/2MM Vinyl Tile, it would be $7.08 for material. You provide labor and adhesive

8ft. It does handle amazing very stable, turns on rail wont slide. Weighs approx 300lbs with a Yamaha twin . I have heard the new Kawi will be even longer , heavy and fast and handle very very well.

From IJSBA website:
"IJSBA is very pleased to announce that Kawasaki will be unveiling the much anticipated new Four Stroke SX-R at the 2016 quakysense World Finals. The unveiling will take place at 8:00 AM, on October 6, at the Kawasaki Semi in the tradeshow portion of the event."
Its clear from Kawasaki's new teaser video below that they designed and made a new handle pole. Good for them! I wonder if its SMC like the old? Regardless all new is a good thing. Another thing I wonder(answer be out there already, havent really looked) is what will the hull be make out of? Glass/gel coat like the SXR or SMC like all the other Kawi stand ups of the past are? My guess is glass/gel coat again. Ive seen the SMC hull vacuum molding towers in person and they are awesome at around 50 feet tall.
I used to work at the Lincoln, NE Kawi plant for 2 years welding quad/mule/bike frames. Sometimes we would run out of a key component from Japan and would have to shut down our line for the rest of the day. They would send us over to the jetski line to do assembly. I did all kinds of silly tasks over there from time to time. The Jetski assembly line took no skill, so they would hire cheap labor from local temp employment agencies. So half the time they were short on people not showing up..lol

EDIT... I was just looking at still shots of this pole from the video and maybe its not new, just has some side pad things added and then the new pole pad w/gauges/lights.. Hell I dont know. hahaa It sure kinda looks like the 750SX 750SXI 750SXI PRO SX-R pole. The more i look at it, it looks more flat on top and a nice angle on the sides to fit that new pad. Ok, now Im gonna say all new pole!
What do you think?
