I have spent a generous amount of time researching about the big four Japanese motorcycle brands which include Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki. What I have found is that for their competing bikes Kawasaki has always come out on top with producing the most horsepower and torque yet having the smallest price tag. Now I’m not saying the change in price is crazy out of this world but saving a couple hundred dollars can mean a lot to many different people.
With all that being said that’s not to say that their bikes are the lightest or have the best build quality or resale value what I’m saying is that purley looking at a power to price ratio Kawasaki reigns supreme over the other Japanese super powers.
From my personal experience however Kawasaki motorcycles are still incredibly well built but lack the smoothness in the engine like many European companies have and don’t have the prestige build quality like Honda has.
