Used Test: Kawasaki ZZ-R600

Like Barbara Windsor, it hasn't been considered sexy for years. So what's kept the ZZ-R600 on Kawasaki's books all this time? It's the fastest, squashiest, flying sofa has ever seen, that's why...

Used Review: Kawasaki ZRX11 & 1200

The menacingly handsome, retro-cool and capable ZRX series has been with us for a decade now, so how does it fare as a used buy? Bertie Simmonds finds out.

Used Review: Kawasaki ZX-6R 1997 - 2001

The ZX-6R exploded onto the scene in 1995 and has been with us ever since. Bertie Simmonds explores the myriad of myths and litany of lies about the G and J models of the big K's popular middleweight blaster.

First Look: Kawasaki Versys Travel

First Ride: 2007 Kawasaki GTR1400

First Ride: 2007 Kawasaki ZX-6R

Harder, sharper and more track focused than ever before. The new ZX-6R challenges you to a fight down at your local race track. He who reaches his limit first, loses.

First Ride: 2007 Kawasaki Versys

Fancy an ER-6 but find it a bit too small? The Versys offers relief. John Hogan rides Kawasaki's lanky new 'any road' tool.

First Ride: 2002 Kawasaki ZZ-R1200

I think it's fair to say the old ZZ-R1100 was more than a bit past its sell by date. I last rode one about three years ago, on a flat out European speed mission in the company of a Suzuki Hayabusa and Honda Blackbird.

First Ride: 2002 Kawasaki ZX-9R

First Ride: 2002 Kawasaki ZX-6R

Splitting Heirs: Kawasaki ZZ-R1200 v ZZR1400

Splitting heirs - Kawasaki ZX-10R V ZX-10R
