Kawasaki

Kawasaki didn’t invent the modern superbike category, but when the Japanese company launched the 903cc DOHC four-cylinder Z1 in 1973, it ignited a powder keg of excitement for high-performance literbikes that have never abated. Today the supercharged Ninja H-2R stands among the highest-performance production bikes ever built, the $55,000 tour de force bristling with fully adjustable suspension, a trellis frame, and advanced electronic rider aids. Yet there are plenty more Kawasaki motorcycle choices appealing to virtually everyone interested in riding. For instance, the little KLX110 will get the kids going off-road, while the mighty KX450F can take you to the starting gate of a supercross race, assuming you can qualify! Other offerings include the beginner-friendly Ninja 400 sportbike, the Concours 14 ABS sport tourer, a wide range of V-twin Vulcan cruisers and baggers, and KLX off-road playbikes.
