After blowing a crater in its 2008 R&D budget with the Concours 14, Kawasaki had enough left to reinvent the ZX-10R. There's also a revamped ZX-14 to battle Suzuki's new 'Busa. At the other end of the food chain, the 250 Ninja gets its first real redo in decades. And the early-release '09 KLX250S wi

As niche markets go, the "performance naked class" as Kawasaki calls it (and claims to have started back in 2003 with the original Z1000, which other manufacturers would surely dispute) is booming. In Europe, at least: Here in the States most riders still prefer their full-faired, full-caff sportbik

Running On About Running InI bought an '04 Kawasaki ZX-12, and it came with a sticker on the tachometer telling me to not exceed 4000 rpm for the first 500 miles. What do you think about this?

You expect certain things from the Ninja. Power. Quickness. Agility. Focus. Bravado. Attitude. Heavy on the attitude. Still, unless you catapult-launch F-18 Hornets or 6500-horsepower Top Fuel dragsters for a living, this Ninja is a revelation. Prepare yoursel

Midway through my first "Meanie Greenie Ninjatini," I noticed there was no motorcycle in the fifth-floor reception suite of Miami's posh Mandarin Oriental hotel. How odd. The entire North American motopress was gathered here to mark the release of the new-from

In the never-ending race to build the biggest V-twin, Kawasaki has just fired a big-inch salvo across the bows of the worthy oppositions' front-line cruisers. Imaginatively dubbed the Vulcan 2000, this two-barreled behemoth displaces a full 2053cc of enhanced

Has it really been 30 years since Kawasaki levered the motorcycling world off its axis with the Z-1? Indeed. Those old enough to have some early 1970s motoawareness know that Team Green's 903cc open-classer not only proved to be the fastest, quickest and just-
