None that I know of. If you want a belt powered bike you're looking at Buells or HD's.
If Jap bikes aren't using chains, they're using shafts.

I don't think all KZ-440s were belted. My son had one with a chain, but it did seem to sit lower than other standard bikes.

No, definitely not. Mine was an LTD, but not even all LTDs were belt drive.

Or BMWs - the F650CS was belt drive.

It is pretty common on metric cruisers. Of current model bikes, the Kawasaki Vulcan 900, 1700 & 2000 are all belt drive. The Yamaha (Star) Roadstar and Roadliner are belt drive too.

My V-Star 950 is belt drive, as are most current Star models. (V-Max and V-Star are shafties, V-Star 250 is still a chain IIRC).

Did I say Harley? I meant "Cruisers" and Buells.

Ain't skeered of being foolish.
