The Kawasaki stand at Motorcycle Live represents the best chance to see what promises to be the largest gathering of 2012 Kawasaki products in one place at one time.
Featuring FOUR new road motorcycles and TWO new off-road machines, the stand (G420) is adjacent to a Kawasaki racing display and awning that features many of the significant race machines that have scored successes during 2011 – and a selection destined for podiums in 2012 too.
Along with an amazing array of motorcycles, the Kawasaki stand also plays host to both show-long and special daily features like interviews with riders and celebrities. New signings Shane “Shakey” Byrne will be on hand on the opening day (Saturday 19 November) along with fellow PBM rider in the 2012 British superbike Championship, Stuart Easton. Read more…
