Index
Kawasaki are a dynamic force in motor cycles and the most vigorously attacking factory today. They pioneered the era of the Superbike with the power-packed H1, said to be the fastest accelerating machine in the world, and flurished within the imagen of high tecnolpogy and pure performance. Round the globe the racing and record-nreaking feats of the colourful green meanies add drama, tension and excitement to the sporting scene. They are vibrant, controversial positive, and this first book to appear on Kawasaki, which includes more than 90 illustrations, tells the fascubating story of what has become, in less ehan 15 years, illustrations, tells the fascinating story of what has become, in less than 15 years a vivid motor cycle legend.
