History of Kawasaki Motorcycles
In this video we go over the history of Kawasaki motorcycles. Kawasaki is the last major manufacturer to come out of Japan along with Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha. We start from the early days when Kawasaki took over Meguro motorcycles, thereby buying its way into motorcycle market of Japan. Among many models produced by Kawasaki the most popular are Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R, ZX10R, KLX dirt bikes, ZX14 and such bikes as Kawasaki Vulcan and Kawasaki Contour. The extensive fan base extends throughout the globe, making it one of the most favourite motorcycle brands in the world.
Please note that this is a short and quick overview of the history of Kawasaki motorcycles, therefore, many other models that you, the viewer, might consider relevant and important are unfortunately omitted for the sake of brevity of this YouTube video.
Hope you enjoy!

P.S. I apologize for not uploading anything for the past few months. Hopefully, I’ll pick up the pace within the next few weeks.

Thanks.
you should do history of triumph bikes or KTM bikes or BMW or maybe Indian motorbikes. and I suscribed. can’t wait to see new vids
Not one mention of the ultimate commuting machine, the ninja 650R.
nice video…but some missing middle-weight like Ninja650 , Z-series , Versys series
.
you didn’t shout out my bike Kawasaki GPX 400R (EX400 Ninja)
???? boring sounds
the legendary and the most successful motorcycle company back then.
The background music makes this almost incompressible.
Not good mate
My preferences for bikes are Kawasaki for dirt bikes, Suzuki for sport bikes, and Honda for highway cruisers. I haven’t had the opportunity to drive any other makers yet though to compare.
you skipped the z series
dude thats baker x derek in the part where he talks about the 636
z750? z1000?? z800?? the new z1000????
no mention of Kawasaki naked bikes? 🙁
750 turbo is worth a mention.
As soon as that Triple came across the screen I broke out into a spontaneous smile. I must have put a million miles on mine before selling it back to Japan. Triples were straight-up ‘thrill rides’. I imagine rare now due to crashing and short lifespans of the bikes. But oh wow that brought back so many happy memories thank you!
I bought a 2016 KLR 650 matrix camo brand new,, I heard they were bullet proof, I was going up a steep incline and the clutch plates fractured blowing out he oil up a 90% of the summit, luckily I was able to reverse and roll back down 4200 ft. I was pissed, the dealer said the clutch plates were probably manufacturing defect, so don’t count on your klr if you are in extremis.
Holy snapping duck shit, Batman! You COMPLETELY skipped the ZXR 750 range. Y’know? That bike that made all those waves in the World Supers, and Endurance events, back in the late 80’s to early 90’s?????? They were a HUGE part of Kawasaki’s success…..
ZX14?
History of triumph motorcycles
Nice video but it’s impossible to watch ’til the the end because of sh… music!
Great vid!!
what song is it that’s playing in the background?
What about the Ninja 650/1000, Versys series, Z650/750/800/1000?
Without mentioning the ZXR 750, not even half the story is told…..
my ninja like to rev.
@Bakerxderek is dat you at 7:38?
Ahhh, you tricked me. “Moto” to me means “Motocross”.
no menciona la kawasaki KMX 125R y KMX 200 cc ni la KDX 250 ni la Víctor m 150
Callus sake. Volume to hope to see it soon
7:35 That bike looks REAAAL familiar
Honda,Yamaha and Suzuki
I love kawasaki
I like the history and the storytelling in your video, but I felt so depressed because of your voice. Just hear you say “hey” in the beginning of the video make me so uninterested to watch the video.
I love Kawasaki.
still a lot of models did not put into the videos i.e. Z models, ER6 models, Versys models, Super Kips, Zhyper 750 and many more with smaller capacity.
next one “the History of BMW” 😀 ?! they started as an aircraft company 😀
Not one mention of the zxr range our the zx7r which was a super bike winner ??? Our the zx4
Kawasaki rr 150 2 stroke is also awesome!!!
Nice Video, However you missed a few of the Best Kawasaki’s ever made Like the 1985-1990 Kawasaki 454 aka EN450, They were a big deal, Beating Big block Corvette’s, Great midsize bike even today, 32 years later.
