The Latest Breaking News from Kawasaki

Is Kawasaki Putting a Supercharged Superbike Engine Into a UTV?

Imagine you own a powersports company, and you have one of the coolest engines on the market, but you only use it in one vehicle. That's not just silly; it's borderline mean to your demographic—BRP, please take some notes and stick that 325-hp rotax engine in something else.

Are Chinese Manufacturers Bringing Back the Inline-4 Middleweight Sportbike?

Just a few years ago, some of the most desirable sportbikes were top-tier machines like the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, or perhaps the razor-sharp BMW S 1000 RR. And while these bikes are well and truly bedroom wall poster material, consumer preferences have shifted to smaller, more sensible machines.

Is Kawasaki Actually Serious About This New Motorcycle Voice Command Feature?

Maybe I’m just weird, but I never really got the whole idea of voice commands. Be it Siri, Hey, Google, Alexa, or even Hey, Cardo, the whole idea of summoning your device via voice always seemed a bit odd to me. You know, a little unnatural.

Praise Be, Kawasaki Will Revive the 2-Stroke Dirt Bike!

It was a dark day when Kawasaki discontinued the 2-stroke back in 2007. I cried. Our writers cried. The world cried. Collectively, we bemoaned Team Green killing our favorite brappy-bois, though we understood that it's hard to build an environmentally neutral 2-stroke and make a profit.

Kawasaki’s Revised KLX Motorcycles Bring All the Fun for a Fraction of the Price

One of the best days I spent on two wheels last year was on the 2025 Kawasaki KLX230R—I just didn't want to stop riding. The bike had just enough power to make me want to hoon on it but wasn't intimidating and was more than competent. So, when I saw…

Kawasaki’s Jet Ski STX 160 Series Is Back and Better Than Ever

I recently sang Kawasaki's praises for making such an affordable and fun KLX range for 2025. But personal watercraft (PWC) is not an industry that screams "affordability". However, if you want to get out on the water on a full-fat Jet Ski, Kawasaki's STX 160 Series means you don't have…

Polaris Drops Six New ATVs, Ready for Spring, Summer, and Fall Outdoor Activities

ATVs are some of the most useful, fun, and capable machines on the planet. Each day, they're used for farm chores, backcountry excursions, camping, hunting, fishing, and everything in between.
