History Of Motor Biking

In general, as you can see, there are roughly around a few different brands of motorbikes.As such, I am keen and therefore would like to go with the history of Kawasaki that have been producing satisfied needs to all the riders around the world ever since it was published around the 1950s.

More than forty years have passed since Kawasaki started full-scale production of motorcycles. Our first motorcycle engine was designed based on technical know-how garnered from the development and production of aircraft engines.

Our entry into the motorcycle industry was driven by Kawasaki’s constant effort to develop new technologies. Over the years we have released numerous new models that have helped shape the market, and in the process, created many enduring legends based on the speed and power of our machines. In 1996, we produced our 10 millionth vehicle, a testament to Kawasaki’s ability to meet the needs of a wide range of riders. As Kawasaki continues to "Let the good times roll," our latest challenges will surely give birth to new legends.

These are the motorbike engines produced in 1952 and 1955.
