<p><b>1. Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager (ABS)</b></p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2017/07/2017-Kawasaki-Vulcan1700-Voyager.jpg" alt="" width="2017" height="1342" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-100918" srcset="https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2017/07/2017-Kawasaki-Vulcan1700-Voyager.jpg 2017w, https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2017/07/2017-Kawasaki-Vulcan1700-Voyager-155x103.jpg 155w, https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2017/07/2017-Kawasaki-Vulcan1700-Voyager-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2017/07/2017-Kawasaki-Vulcan1700-Voyager-768x511.jpg 768w, https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2017/07/2017-Kawasaki-Vulcan1700-Voyager-1024x681.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 2017px) 100vw, 2017px" /></p>

<p><b>5. Kawasaki Ninja H2 R</b></p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2017/07/2017-Kawasaki-Ninja-H2-R.jpg" alt="" width="4093" height="2508" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-100922" /></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that recently there are a lot of rumors flying around the internet about Kawasaki and a mysterious new maxi scooter.</p>
<p>Most of the rumors have emerged from Italian forums, but so far, no evidence or official announcement have surfaced.</p>
<figure id="attachment_51924" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-51924" style="width: 505px" class="caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/10/Kawasaki-J300-rumored.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-0" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/10/Kawasaki-J300-rumored.jpg" alt="Kawasaki J300 rumored" width="505" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-51924" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-51924" class="caption-text">Kawasaki J300 rumored</figcaption></figure>
<p>The most promising lead yet seems to be a certain member that claims to have seen this new maxi scooter. He also claims that it will be called the Kawasaki J300. Again, without evidence, it is hard to discern whether this is true or just a fabrication to gain media attention.<br />
<span id="more-51915"></span><br />
This source claims to have noticed a single petal rotor for the front brakes, which also come with ABS. </p>
<p>As of yet, Kawasaki has only built scooters for the eastern market, but this new model, if it proves to be true, might even reach the west. We will have confirmation of this said maxi scooter from Kawasaki at the EICMA show next month. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems the Ninja 300 motorcycles offered by Kawasaki was plagued by misfortune from the get go.</p>
<p>After authorities investigated reported problems, it seems that Kawasaki will have to make good on 11.097 units.</p>
<figure id="attachment_50790" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50790" style="width: 505px" class="caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-Ninja-300-2.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-1" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-Ninja-300-2.jpg" alt="Kawasaki Ninja 300" width="505" height="310" class="size-full wp-image-50790" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-50790" class="caption-text">Kawasaki Ninja 300</figcaption></figure>
<p>Investigators&#8217; results pointed towards a faulty ECU, that would sometimes cause the engine to stall during braking and deceleration. It guess it is pointless to mention that your engine stopping can be a bad thing on a bike.<br />
<span id="more-50788"></span><br />
<figure id="attachment_50791" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50791" style="width: 505px" class="caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-Ninja-300-3.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-1" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-Ninja-300-3.jpg" alt="Kawasaki Ninja 300" width="505" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-50791" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-50791" class="caption-text">Kawasaki Ninja 300</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>The affected models are the Kawasaki Ninja 300 and Ninja 300 ABS manufactured between July 16, 2012 and April 27, 2013, and the manufacturer announced the recall campaign will start sometime in mid-August. As usual in these cases, the ECU will be replaced free of charge, so any owner should get ready to bring their bike to a dealership.</p>
<figure id="attachment_50792" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50792" style="width: 505px" class="caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-Ninja-300-4.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-1" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-Ninja-300-4.jpg" alt="Kawasaki Ninja 300" width="505" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-50792" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-50792" class="caption-text">Kawasaki Ninja 300</figcaption></figure>
<p>While we heard of no injuries incurring because of the faulty component, considering the high number of affected machines, the chances are quite high of it actually happening. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Out from Spain came a special Kawasaki H1, after falling in the hands of Valtoron tuners, and it was baptized La Bomba.</p>
<p>While the build is quite simplistic, the styling doesn&#8217;t fail to capture the eye, with the tuners adopting the retro look. </p>
<figure id="attachment_50610" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50610" style="width: 505px" class="caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-H1-La-Bomba-5.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-2" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-H1-La-Bomba-5.jpg" alt="Kawasaki H1 La Bomba" width="505" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-50610" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-50610" class="caption-text">Kawasaki H1 La Bomba</figcaption></figure>
<p>Pushing the bike forward is a 498 cc two stroke engine, air cooled. While a potent engine by itself, Valtoron decided to up the ante by adding Wiseco high compression pistons and meddling with the ports and the expansion chambers on the custom exhaust system. This makes for a 70 Hp output at the wheel.<br />
<span id="more-50605"></span><br />
<figure id="attachment_50609" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50609" style="width: 505px" class="caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-H1-La-Bomba-4.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-2" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2013/08/Kawasaki-H1-La-Bomba-4.jpg" alt="Kawasaki H1 La Bomba" width="505" height="300" class="size-full wp-image-50609" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-50609" class="caption-text">Kawasaki H1 La Bomba</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>In order to improve on the flaws of the Kawasaki, the tuners reinforced the frame and added Koni shocks. A custom gas tank was cast from aluminium, with a very unique design, that also integrates the seat. To the front they installed a Zundapp headlight, with the rear lights choice being LED. </p>

<p>After decorating the aluminium with bronze details, it was decided that painting it would just ruin the look, so they let it be, adding more to the retro vibe it gives off. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bikers, particularly Kawasaki fans, if you&#8217;re interested in the 2012 version of the Japanese manufacturer&#8217;s Ninja 250 R, there&#8217;s some less than good news coming your way.</p>
<p>Yes, Kawasaki is still offering a new version of the bike only it&#8217;s not exactly new.</p>
<figure id="attachment_22113" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-22113" style="width: 460px" class="caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-1.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-2" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-1.jpg" alt="2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250" width="460" height="208" class="size-full wp-image-22113" srcset="https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-1.jpg 815w, https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-1-300x135.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-22113" class="caption-text">2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250</figcaption></figure>
<p>The 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250 R drops the R tag from the name and the rest of the changes are well, non-existent.<br />
<span id="more-22102"></span><br />
According to the company&#8217;s US website, the stats on the 2011 Kawasaki Ninja 250 R and the 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250  are identical.</p>
<p>This is no accident, Kawasaki didn&#8217;t change anything on their bike, not even the competitor introduced and expected fuel mixing method.</p>
<figure id="attachment_22114" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-22114" style="width: 460px" class="caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-2.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-2" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-2.jpg" alt="2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250" width="460" height="208" class="size-full wp-image-22114" srcset="https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-2.jpg 815w, https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-2-300x135.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-22114" class="caption-text">2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250</figcaption></figure>
<p>Power for the 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250 comes from a 249 cubic centimeters liquid-cooled parallel twin engine that draws fuel from a carburetor.</p>
<p>The end result produces and sends 40 horsepower towards the rear wheel via a six-speed transmission and an O-ring chain.</p>
<p>As you&#8217;d imagine, this means the top speed figure remains unchanged at 100 mph and the fuel tank&#8217;s capacity is still 4.8 gallons.</p>
<p>While most would rather know why Kawasaki hasn&#8217;t changed anything about the 2012 Ninja 250, some of the brand&#8217;s enthusiasts are more interested in what has changed.</p>
<figure id="attachment_22115" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-22115" style="width: 460px" class="caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-3.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-gallery-2" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title=""><img decoding="async" src="http://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-3.jpg" alt="2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250" width="460" height="208" class="size-full wp-image-22115" srcset="https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-3.jpg 815w, https://www.automotorblog.com/storage/2011/08/2012-Kawasaki-Ninja-250-3-300x135.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-22115" class="caption-text">2012 Kawasaki Ninja 250</figcaption></figure>
<p>Why did Kawasaki drop the R part of the name and why is it still present in other of the brand&#8217;s products. While no actual explanation is offered it&#8217;s most likely a marketing ploy.</p>
<p>Kawasaki is probably attempting to identify the brand&#8217;s high performance products with the R name tag whereas the lower tiered 250 and such don&#8217;t get the same bragging rights.</p>

<p>The amazing 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R was launched in Japan a few weeks ago and it will probably be the best motorcycle for Kawasaki fans.</p>
<p>The 2006 Kawasaki ZX-6R had a great success on the market, but the new model will get some new improvements. The new bike will have a different air take, other cylindrical guides and better fuel efficiency. The aspect is more aggressive than that of the 2006 Kawasaki ZX-6R. The 2009 version will have a sharper nose and a different tail as the key modifications in the aspect. The 600 cc engine is great for the race track and many would want to sell their older models and buy the 2009 Kawasaki ZX-6R.<span id="more-225"></span></p>
<p>As everyone expected, the green color remains the same, a true trademark of Kawasaki motorcycles.</p>
