Kawasaki Racers - Road-racing from 1965 to the present day
Ian Falloon
This book tells the full story of Kawasaki’s involvement in road
racing. As a company dominated by engineers, the will to race has
always been there, but with motorcycles only representing a small
part of a much larger conglomerate, economic circumstances have
often dictated involvement, resulting in the company’s racing
efforts being characterised by inconsistency. However, Kawasaki
has achieved some extraordinary results. The first notable success
was in 1969, when Dave Simmonds won the 125cc World
Championship, and more recently Kawasaki took the World
Endurance Championship in 1996.
