Kawasaki is one of the ‘Big Four’ powerhouse Japanese motorcycle manufacturers. Motorcycles are just a small part of this 140-year-old company’s ventures.

In this look back at 6 decades of Kawasaki Dirt Bike history, I have included many of the memorable motocross and dual sport bikes that had a significant impact at the time. It is by no means a complete list, there are far too many fantastic models to include in one post.
