Why a Kawasaki

Kawasaki started their business building fighter planes for Japan during World War 2. Thereafter transferring their knowledge and experience to heavy Industries, having a motorcycle division as part of their companies division.  Ironically, most of the names of their Fighter jets are placed to all their motorcycle line.
Kawasaki bikes has always been "special".  Their bikes DNA has always being known to be fast, furious and extremely mean.  Riders with kamikazi like characters will definitely appreciate the power and characteristics Kawasaki bikes produces.  Those who have followed the company's lineage and history surely will know and recognize the crazy powerful machines the company produces, like the memorable H1 Mach III, H2 Mach IV, nicknamed widowmakers. (Need we elaborate on why?)  Knowing how these bikes were, anyone "sane" will shit themselves senseless piloting them.
The company has always produced bikes with similar characteristics.  Currently, their famous "mad" lines includes the 2011 ZX10R which produces approximately 180BHP in stock.  Other models include the ZX6R, Z1000 and Z750 models. Their other much more lower capacity models includes the 250R, KLX 150 and 250 which also delivers the same amount of madness in their engine strokes.
A classic example of Kawasaki madness is this 2stroke Triple engine H1 which is designed specifically for people who have balls as big as a hot air balloon with no disregard with any safety whatsoever. What's more disturbing is where on earth did Kawasaki find the engineer for this beast which has no stopping power whatsoever, no turning capability at all whose only reason for existance is to deliver broken bones, gravel rash and skin graphs to it's riders. If you'd like to know what suicide feels like, definately a bargain to get one of this classic.  Any ride will make you appreciate life more.
In comparison today, other than Kawasaki, BMW is another company which has produced another similar lineage madness motorcycle, also delivering approximately 180bhp delivered on the rear with their inline 4 BMW S1000RR. In comparison between two, most would prefer the BMW S1000RR for it's traction control, manageability and stability but the wild spirit in most riders will always cherish the spit and spat the ZX10R produces when the throttle is cracked.  If you want a motorcycle that you can take to the shop and feel like a superb weekend warrior riding, the BMW S1000RR is the bike for you with the packaged electronics and management aiding the rider navigate their madness with safety.  However, most rider would cherish and appreciate more on the mad and wildness the ZX10R or any Kawasaki motorcycle delivers when the throttle is cracked open, sending mind boogling chilling madness, tingling up their spine. In short, Kawasaki motorcycles will definately make any weekend ride a memorable experience, and is definately not for the faint hearted. (That's what the Hondas are for)
So why do we want a mad motorcycle like a Kawasaki? Simple.. because it is in our blood to be wild!
