It was not until 1954 that Kawasaki motorcycles for the first complete motorcycle under the name Meihatsu (a subsidiary of Kawasaki Aircraft Co.). Almost simultaneously, they also tried to introduce its line of scooters on the market, but they soon realized that he could not compete with the two giants of the sector scooter these days: the Fuji Rabbit and Mitsubishi Silver Pigeon.
And now before continuing the story of Kawasaki motorcycles, I have to make a big detour …
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE HISTORY OF THE MOTORCYCLE ENGINE KAWASAKI We can not talk about Kawasaki without mentioning another make that will certainly become as Honda Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha and one of the greatest actors of Japanese motorcycles:
-> Meguro Motorcycles for improved understanding of the fact that “the elders and the king of four races.” Meguro says the motorcycle industry in 1937. Having good relations with the government, the people at Meguro received the order of the army. The first bicycle was Z97: a 500cc motorcycle tumbler valve Swiss influenced by Motosacoche. It is worth mentioning this model was a success for the factory and Z97 was in production until années’50. Along the years, Meguro produce very nice 250cc and 350cc drum-valve, single cylinder model as well as binoculars high production.
All with a strong influence of English. Then, thanks to the commercial success that they have suffered, have also launched a rocker arm valve 125 cc for their stove and a double-cylinder 650cc low-end to accompany the current 500cc. But did not take place in 1958, when the evidence Meguro rid of their British influence, has begun to when things go wrong … Based on a prototype of profit Asama (one of the biggest races of the time), Meguro motion has produced three beautiful and elegant car air cam: 125 E3, the 250cc and 350cc FY A.

And this brings us back to Kawasaki motorcycle … In 1960, the company decided to give a serious impetus to the motorcycle division of Kawasaki Aircraft: They took the market for the brand Meihatsu built its plant low and low and buy Meguro-automatic. These brilliant moves and decisions of the Kawasaki motorcycle encouraged to have a range of models on the market. Kawasaki Motorcycles could offer at that time (the sixties), one for black crush 50cc scooter with a powerful twin motorcycle, the high end and nice bottle of 650 cc.
It ‘important to remember that because the very nature of Kawasaki motorcycles always played the role of maverick in the field and that the feeling of independence from their main competitors has always been present.
