Story of How Kawasaki Competed With Other Japanese Rivals? | Did You Know?

I'm 71 years old and still have my ZX12R. It's the 2000 model, no speed limiter, no rev limiter, absolutely brilliant.

My father had a Kawasaki KH125 that I totally loved... On my 14th birthday I asked him to teach me how to ride... I had owned a few Kawasaki's my self, a ZXR 400SP and a ZZR 600. 40 years later, I am still riding!

My first bike was a 78 KZ1000A2 (I was 19) and my most recent bike is a ‘23 KLR 650. My next bike will be a Z900RS. They truly “let the good times roll”.

I love my 2019 Versys 650. My previous bike was the 2017 Z650. I love Kawasaki bikes because they are well engineered and competitively priced.

I am 63 years old and have ridden many motorcycles. I love the little Kawasaki Z 400. It’s perfect for riding around town, commuting, and short touring. It only took me 3 1/2 gallons to get to Yosemite from Concord, California

For me Always Kawasaki it has been 25 years . Zx10r (1000cc ) Super Kips (150 2stroke ) Have these Two now . Love it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I starten my Kawasaki adventure in 1978 with a KH 125, in 1981 I bought a Z500 that was very Nice but 1982 I fell in love with the Gpz 750 and had it for several years. Had no ridning until 2005 when family approved me to buy a new ride. This time a Gpz 1100, a wonderful bike. 2008 I went for parts in a bike shop and saw the Zrx 1200 and ride that home the same Day. This bike was a Dreams and I had it until 2019. Now my finalen has ended up with a 2015 Zzr 1400 with 220 bhp unrestricted . I am 65 years old so that bike is enough for me to have fun with.

Back in '82 I bought a 1977 KE175, amazing , brutal and handle almost every terrain with stock tyres. Love it so much!!! Learned to ride in sand was a thrill in this mean machine 👍

I bought a brand new 1987 KLR - 650...The bike was released in... 1987...I wish I still had it. The KLR is definitely one of the Iconic bikes in the begging of the ADV Craze....I sold it to some kid who would go onto crashing it 😡... oh well, it was definitely bullet proof for sure. 🙏😁 I loved that. KAWASAKI!!!

My first and current Kawasaki is the 2023 Versys 650 LT ABS and I enjoy everything about this motorcycle.

I've owned a 550f, ZX9, KLE500, VERSYS 650, from Kawasaki. But the ZX9 and 550f, were totally bulletproof .

Building supersonic jets , submarines helicopters ,high speed trains amongst much else they have an unbeatable cadre of competent engineers , their top of the line stuff is REALLY just that ,, as an example the ZX7R forks were the best on the market until -12 even though it went out of production in -03, they also copy the ISR alloy in their discs from -12..... a giant step!!

it's actually fun to watch these backstory videos, kinda miss the previous narrator but

Is the narrator a robot?

I own 2 classic kawasaki's. 1980 Z1R and 1984 kawasaķi eddie lawson replica. Both fantastic motorcycles.

Hy everyone, my first Kawa was z500from '83, then I've got ER-5,ZR-7S, ER-6N, ER-5, ZZR 600, ER-5, and now I ride ER-6F grom 2007 with 103tkm, and I'm verry happy with iz, hope in future ride W800.

Love KX 250 2T '05. Next bike is the KX 500 2T

22:23. lol. All the cello tape on the ZZR1100. Too funny

What? No mention af the W650 and W800 models carrying on the tradition of the original W1? I have a 2022 W800 standard and love it. These models are not hugely popular in North America but they are popular in Japan and have a cult like following in Europe. They are more costly than other manufacturers retro machines but they use excellent quality materials and attention to detail is second to none. Truly great street machines for everyday use and provide a very good replication of 60s and 70s motorcycle riding with modern reliability.

I've a few kawasaki's KH 500 H2 750 triples GPZ750 turbo, and I've got A7 350 Avenger am building.❤bikes.
