    Most Kawasaki bikes have what's called a positive neutral finder, which prevents you from shifting into second when standing still to make it easier to shift into neutral when stopped.
    Ryan from FortNine actually made a video about this called "Why Kawasaki Shifts Better than Every Other Brand"

    First bike I ever wanted to buy was a Honda DN-01, such great looks, very unique. The engine is an anemic 600cc coupled to a first gen automatic trans, terrible idea from Honda. If I had the time and money I would get a DN-01 and do an engine and trans swap.

    It always surprises me when people work around vehicles but know nothing about bikes. The transmission by design won't let you click through all the gears while sat still, at a minimum you have to be rolling the the bike back and forth a few inches so the shafts and collars and gears can move and slot into different gears.
    Awesome pick up due to someone else's lack of knowledge LOL. My uncle has one of these and it is HEAVY but effortlessly fast.
