Below is the video of the launch, but first, let's look at some photos I took.

Kawasaki's bicycles are mostly children bikes, but now they got one that is a "serious" sportsbike, a bicycle that looks a bit like daddy's or mummy's Kawasaki sports motorcycle.
So now your kids can emulate you.... and get used to living the life of the green team.

They are all already tied up in some shape or another, and could complement each other in the global market place, making it a force to be reckoned with.

Here's a short analysis.
