Kawasaki trying to improve upon the featherbed frame? Oddly, they did not use this design in their new H-1 triple. I expect the ad is aimed at Suzuki who during that period, didn't use any frame member vertically from the swing arm pivot for their twins.

The T500 looks a lot like the CB450, except the CB had a tube from the top tube down to the middle of the swingarm crossmember. Not sure how effective that would be.

I’ve always figured the steering head should be connected to the swingarm pivot as rigidly as possible. I never understood what Suzuki was thinking, using that design.
