That's cheap for this model. They might have been a bit of a flop but how cool is the front and rear fork treatment?  ;)

How cool is the whole bike!

I think the proto was a fair bit lighter than the heavy prod'n model as it had a frame by C&J or similar.

Correctomundo John....C&J made the frames for the prototype. C&J built quite a number of early prototype frames for big manufacturers, Kawasaki and ATK to name two.
