Despite inconsistent support from the corporation, Kawasaki motorcycles and their riders have achieved some extraordinary results. This full-color history, with sidebars providing easily accessible information on significant riders and teams, tells the complete story of Kawasaki's involvement in road racing. The story begins with Dave Simmonds' 1969 125cc World Championship, and continues through the KR 250 and 350 that proved virtually unbeatable from 1978 to 1982, Wayne Rainey's AMA Superbike Championship in 1983 and Scot Russell's in 1993, and the Kawasaki's dominance of endurance racing in the 1990s.

This review is from: Kawasaki Racers: Road-Racing Motorcycles from 1965 to the Present Day (Hardcover)
Love this book, I am a big Kawa Fan, Kawasaki Road Racers is a good read, lots of interesting people behind the racing teams and different efforts.
A little History of Kawa also, Some Lawerence coverage, I Wish there would be a Eddie Lawerence book. We also need a Revised version or something to this great book. I love the Ninja Bikes(known as Ninja In America). Good Book with Great Pics for any Kawa' Fan.

This review is from: Kawasaki Racers: Road-Racing Motorcycles from 1965 to the Present Day (Hardcover)
This book details Kawasaki racing motorcycles from yesteryear to a couple of years back. There are good stories about the efforts of Kawasaki, privateers and racing teams. I wish there were more details, more nuts and bolts info on the bikes themselves. There is not much information on Eddie Lawson's racebikes, which was disappointing but then again this is not an Eddie Lawson book. Even if you look around on the net there isn't much info on Kwaka's compared to Honda. They make interesting stuff, and a lot of friends are addicted to the new Kawasaki KSR110 in Lime Green.
5.0 out of 5 stars
