The history of Kawasaki society dates back to 1924, while participating in metallurgy and the aviation industry. In 1949, they decided to participate in the motorcycle engines that produce the industry that could be adapted to motorcycles. Kawasaki productivity  first motorcycle engines of motorcycles in its line can find a 60 cc two-stroke and 150cc, and 250cc four-stroke engines have been developed with technology from BMW, a company with whom he had relations since the beginning of the aviation industry. It was not until 1954 that Kawasaki motorcycles produced its first motorcycle with the name Meihatsu (a subsidiary of Kawasaki Aircraft Co.). Almost simultaneously, also attempted to introduce its own line of scooters on the market, but soon realized that they could not compete with the two industry giants scooters for these days: Fuji and Mitsubishi Silver Pigeon Rabbit. And now, before continuing with the history Moto Kawasaki, I must open a parenthesis? Important information about the history Kawasaki motorcycles, we can not talk about Kawasaki without mentioning another brand that certainly contributes to Kawasaki and Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and one of the biggest players on the scene Japanese motorcycles: -> Meguro Motorcycles: better known at the time as high level and to the king four types. Meguro whole motorcycle industry in 1937. Having good relations with the government, the people of Meguro took advantage of the army command. His first bike was the Z97: a rocker valve 500cc motorcycle influenced by the Swiss Motosacoche. It is worth mentioning this model was a success for the factory and the Z97 is in production before the fifties. Over the years, Meguro produces very beautiful 250cc and 350cc rocker valves, a single cylinder models, as well as high-performance twins. Each of them with a very strong British influence. Thus, with the commercial success that has emerged, but has also launched a bridge valve 125 cc low-end and a double-cylinder 650cc following the 500cc. But in 1958, when Meguro tried to get rid of its British influence, when things started to go wrong ... Based on a prototype, the winner of Mount Asama (one of the biggest races of the time), motorcycles Meguro produced three comfortable and elegant machines with camshafts in general: the E3 in 125cc, 250cc and 350cc F and A. Unfortunately, these bikes have proved too heavy and not reach buyers attention. Meguro soon return to the valve models rocker. Meguro Moto has remained as one of the top 10 manufacturers in 1960, but due to some bad decisions, such as those mentioned above, the company began to decline rapidly, and was bought by Kawasaki. In 1960, Meguro signed an initial agreement with Kawasaki motorcycles, and in 1962 had completely disappeared. . And that brings us back to Kawasaki motorcycles ... In 1960, the company decided to give a serious impetus to the Aircraft Division Kawasaki motorcycles: Meihatsu withdrawn from the market in the brand, build their own factories to low-end and low-power machines and buy Meguro. These brilliant moves and decisions Kawasaki motorcycles is a wider choice of models on the market. Kawasaki motorcycles can offer at that time (1960) by a 50cc scooter moped of a powerful, beautiful and high-end 650 cc two-cylinder motorcycle.
