Kawasaki Booth a Hit at the 37th Tokyo Motor Show

Ninja ZX-10R	VN2000

 The "37^th Tokyo Motor Show - Passenger Cars and Motorcycles (2003)" was held from October 25 to November 5 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba. With a total of 1.42 million people, the event was a major hit well exceeding the previous 1.27 million visitors. With the keywords of “challenging,” “unconventional” and “hard-core,” Kawasaki exhibited a total of 27 models in the motorcycle section including four new models for 2004; the Ninja ZX-10R, the Ninja ZX-6RR, the Z750 and the VN2000, and six types of reference models including the ZZR-X concept model.

 Many motorcycle fans and families visited the Kawasaki booth during the motor show. The exhibition was introduced with a spectacular performance to rock music which caught the attention of many bike enthusiasts. Fans also showed keen interest in the main stage exhibition of the internationally popular large displacement supersport motorcycle, the Ninja ZX-10R. On the front stage, people could be heard exclaiming wonder at the super-macho new VN2000, a cruiser with the world largest V-Twin engine ever made at 2,053 cm³. The center stage proved just as popular with a presentation of the ideal form of the high-speed tourer, the ZZR-X concept model. Visitors to the booth were able to experience what it would be like to ride a Kawasaki motorcycle with the floor exhibition models including 2004 new models and ZRX1200R .
