Are you a fan of powerful, sporty motorcycles? Then a Kawasaki is probably the motorcycle of your dreams. Kawasaki is the smallest of the big four Japanese motorcycle brands. Kawasaki fans praise the exclusive character of 'their' brand, the power and the sharp appearance. Kawasaki originally built ships and aircraft and uses its technical knowledge to build fast motorcycles.
Kawasaki motorcycles are built by the engine division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. This Japanese factory, founded in 1878 by Shozo Kawasaki, was initially engaged in shipbuilding. It later added trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, industrial robots and even artificial satellites. Since 1950, a separate division has been engaged in the development and production of motorcycles. Over the past few decades, Kawasaki has developed models that perform well in both road and off-road racing.
In November 2014, Kawasaki presented the Ninja H2R; the fastest production motorcycle ever made. This bike with 312 hp and weighing just over 215 kilos recently reached a speed of 400 km/h on a bridge closed for the occasion. The new price of the H2R in the Netherlands is over € 50,000. There is a waiting list for this exclusive speed monster.
