Wayne Vicko — Fri, 27 Oct 2023 01:26:54 +0000

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR & ZX-4R Review Words by Wayne Vickers, Images by MotoThing Can you believe that it’s been almost 25 years since the glory days of the Japanese 400 supersports being in full flight? Seems crazy that there’s been that gap for so long. But it’s another case of everything old being new again; […]

2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Review | Motorcycle Test

Rennie Scaysbrook — Wed, 13 Sep 2023 01:15:28 +0000

2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Review Bike review by Rennie Scaysbrook What’s the best way to fool people about your age when the years creep up? If you answered, “Get a facelift”, you’d be right. A facelift, at least on human subjects, is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of excess facial fat, the tightening […]

2023 Kawasaki ZX-4RR Review | Motorcycle Test

2023 Kawasaki ZX-4RR Review KRT Edition Kawasaki ZX-4RR Test by Rennie Scaysbrook If you were lucky enough to grow up in the 1990s, small capacity inline four-cylinder motorcycles were omnipresent. Honda’s CBR250RR and CBR400, Yamaha’s FZR250 and 400, Suzuki’s GSX250 and GSX-R400, and of course, the Kawasaki ZXR400. In Australia, these things were ripping roads […]

2021 Kawasaki KLR650 Adventure Review | Motorcycle Test

Kris Hodgson — Thu, 30 Dec 2021 21:48:39 +0000

2021 Kawasaki KLR650 Adventure Review Words by Kris Hodgson, Images by D. Hodgson I spent a couple of weeks with the new KLR650 recently and despite a decidely modest specification sheet, that by design does keep the bike in the LAMS approved list, I came away quite impressed. For the full run down of changes […]

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R Review | Rennie rocks Team Green

Rennie Scaysbrook — Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:25:37 +0000

2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R Tested by Rennie Scaysbrook It’s reasonable to say the past near decade of international superbike competition has belonged to one brand and one man. Kawasaki and Jonathan Rea have been near unstoppable over the last six years, taking six consecutive titles in a reign even more dominant than our own Mick Doohan […]

2021 Kawasaki Versys 1000 S | Motorcycle Test

Adam Child — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 21:23:58 +0000

2021 Kawasaki Versys 1000 S Review I was lucky enough to attend the world launch of Kawasaki’s big Versys in 2012, and although it was hardly love at first sight, its qualities soon became apparent. The way the adventure-styled tourer smoothly churned out big miles, while cosseting both rider and pillion, was quickly evident. Since […]

Adam Child — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 02:41:54 +0000

Kawasaki Z H2 Motorcycle Test By Adam Child ‘Chad’ Photography by Simon Lee Kawasaki’s Z H2, a supercharged 998cc inline four producing 197bhp and 137 Nm. However, despite its amazing, match-winning engine output, the Z H2 is anything but a race bike, and hides a split personality. This ridiculously aggressive H2 can be as docile […]

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Test By Adam Child ‘Chad’ Kawasaki’s popular Ninja 1000SX receives a multitude of upgrades for 2020. We sent international journalist Adam ‘Chad’ Child to Spain to wheelie, I mean test, the latest version of this popular sports-tourer.

Kawasaki W800 Review

Trev — Tue, 04 Nov 2014 00:30:01 +0000

Kawasaki W800 Review – By Trevor Hedge Kawasaki were the first of the Japanese brands to go seriously retro with their W650 more than a decade ago. Despite this, Triumph’s modern day Bonneville (also largely manufactured in Asia) had more cred’ with the buying public, thanks to that British brand name on the tank. The […]

Kawasaki KLR650 Review

Trev — Fri, 15 Nov 2013 20:33:59 +0000

Kawasaki’s venerable KLR650 is one of the least powerful big bore dual-sport motorcycles on the market. The KLR has been around since God was a boy, feels and looks a little dated and has about as much sex appeal as Kevin Rudd. So why is it by far the biggest selling adventure-touring motorcycle in Australia? […]
