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.
FIRST TO FINISH
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.

Three years ago Jonathan Rea won his first WorldSBK title aboard the Ninja ZX-10R. He’s won every title since
making it three championships in a row. Kawasaki has won manufacturer and team titles every year since 2015
creating a remarkable nine award haul. With the latest Ninja ZX-10RR Rea and teammate Tom Sykes are odds-
on favourites for 2018 while Kenan Sofuoglu chases a 4th Kawasaki Supersport title. If you want to count the
wins count on Kawasaki.
There’s no place for fake in the lifestyle you choose. Kawasaki alone has the heritage to deliver yesterday’s values
to today’s riders in a truly authentic Modern Classic motorcycle. The visceral spirit of a 1970s legend – Kawasaki’s
original king of cool Z1 – finds expression in the Z900RS, to satisfy the very essence of the rider you are now.
The Kawasaki Z900RS. The true spirit of motorcycling.
