Honestly, I think we're at the point where Kawasaki is doing its level best to go after Yamaha in its quest to be the weirdest company on the planet. I say that as Yamaha, of course, has its powersports segment on lock. But it also makes things like pianos and cellos. There are also things like Yamaha's outboard motors, archery stuff (formerly), guitars, digital recording equipment and players, communications, home decor and utilities, and like a hundred other things.
Yamaha's audio folks even helped Lexus develop the LFA supercar's exhaust note.
But lately, Kawasaki seems to be going on a number of sidequests that are so random, you'd think the Dungeon Master controlling the company had just dropped acid. There's stuff like the H2-powered plane and VTOL helicopter, the supercharged side-by-side, all the normal stuff like the brand's motorcycles and ATVs and jet skis, and also a robot horse. Yet, the one that had me scratching my head was this next story, in which a report from Reuters states Kawasaki is looking to get a military contract with Germany to build a missile.
