This year is quite the special one for Kawasaki Motors Philippines (KMPC)—the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer is celebrating a milestone 15th Anniversary in the country.
It’s been a storied decade-and-a-half for Kawasaki, having been one of the pioneers in the big-bike segment in the Philippines. What it started in 2009 has since boomed, and to this day it remains the leader in that category.
For 2024, KMPC is looking to assert its dominance in the big-bike market even further. It just introduced the newest additions and tweaks to its big-bike lineup. There are quite a few, so let’s get to it.
