NINJA 250SL & Z250SL 2015

OUR HERITAGEYou can’t buy or “invent” heritage, that’s why our history of creating iconic machines is the envy of other manufacturers and celebrated with such enthusiasm by loyal Kawasaki riders the world over. Our hard won reputation for manufacturing provocative and distinctive motorcycles creates a positive point of difference in a world of uniformity and sets Kawasaki apart.

FROM WORLD SUPERSPORT, WSBK AND WORLD ENDURANCE TO CHALLENGING SUPERCROSS ARENAS AND MOTOCROSS CIRCUITS, KAWASAKI’S COMPETITION SPIRIT IS ENGRAINED IN EVERY RIDER AND AT THE CORE OF EVERY LIME GREEN MACHINE.

RACING SPIRIT

Engineering, technology and a passion to compete. The desire to gain

that vital fraction of a second, that final metre of track and that coveted

podium top step. And what fuels that passion? The drive to build still

more advanced motorcycles and to meet the performance expectations

of Kawasaki fans. Judge us by our success; judge us by our track record.2
