Your official Kawasaki dealer:

Representing a unique engineering heritage and a wealth of technological expertise combined with passion, performance and individuality, Kawasaki motorcycles are not just about high performance. They are a crystallisation of advanced technology arising from the collective efforts of the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group, whose activities span a wide range of business domains including Land, Sea and Air Transporta-tion Systems, Energy & Environmental Engineering and Industrial Equipment.

Kawasaki motorcycles possess both power and grace so are often recognised as being different to other bikes. This results from certain guiding principles adopted at the design stage. Rideology is Kawasaki’s rider-centric development philosophy focused on how the riding experience offered by a Kawasaki is crafted, ensuring that our machines are fun to ride and rewarding to control. This approach has been the force behind many of our legendary machines, and in our pursuit of all possibilities it will continue to guide the future creation of Kawasaki motorcycles.

Kawasaki motorcycles are a distillation of the most advanced technology the world has to offer.

WORLD CLASSIF YOU COMPETE YOUR NATURAL INSTINCT IS TO WIN. KAWASAKI FEEDS THAT DESIRE TO DOMINATE ON TRACK AND TO BE BEST IN CLASS FROM A FIRST FORAY INTO CLUB RACING ALL THE WAY TO THE PINNACLE OF PRODUCTION BASED RACING IN WORLDSBK AND MXGP.

Four years ago Jonathan Rea won his first WorldSBK title aboard the Ninja ZX-10R. He’s won every title since making it five championships in a row. Meanwhile Ninja 400 rider Ana Carrasco became the first female win-ner of a full FIM World Championship road-racing category when she finished first in the 2018 WorldSSP300 championship. Kawasaki has won manufacturer and team titles every year since 2015 creating an unrivaled winning streak. If you want to count the wins count on Kawasaki.

To finish first, first you have to finish. You need season long performance from you and your machine. KX gives you the confidence to compete and reassurance to race week in week out. While others may briefly shine and fade, KX riders can rely on rugged reliability and inspired innovation. From MXGP and MX2 to WMX and your local club championship KX riders have every right to be the first across the finishing line. Courtney Duncan 2019 WMX champion.
