Tokyo, October 7, 2008 — Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. announced today that it will exhibit a total of nine models: eight new 2009 models for the European market and one commercial model scheduled to be launched, at the INTERMOT 2008*1 to be held in Cologne, Germany for five days starting on Wednesday, October 8. At the INTERMOT 2008, Kawasaki will introduce its Ninja ZX-6R, a new model developed as a result of the full model change to its predecessor mid-size supersport model which has earned high marks overseas. With the improved chassis rigidity balance and optimized engine power features, this model also adopts the Big Piston Front Fork (BPF), which offers excellent damping responses, making the Ninja ZX-6R the first-ever commercial motorcycle to be equipped with BPF. Kawasaki will also present its ER-6f and ER-6n, highly acclaimed mid-size sport models that have undergone a full model change. As for its cruiser models*2, Kawasaki will exhibit the VN1700 Voyager, a full-dress V-twin engine tourer with a full load of equipment designed for long touring and first-ever built by a Japanese manufacturer. The VN1700 Voyager, equipped with a K-ACT*3 ABS, Kawasaki’s first electronically controlled, combined front-rear brake system operated with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), pursues a high level of passenger comfort for a long distance ride. Amongst its VN1700 series, Kawasaki will present the VN1700 Classic which illustrates a classical style and the VN1700 Classic Tourer which adds touring features to the VN1700 Classic. Kawasaki will also exhibit its KLX 250, a 250cc dual-purpose model*4 producing a more complete off-road riding that will newly be introduced to the European market, and the KX450F and KX250F, exclusively designed for motocross races*5 and developed through Kawasaki’s technologies and expertise learned through its domestic and overseas factory race activities.
