It’s been overlooked a bit by Kawasaki too arguably: But no longer. For 2025, the 124bhp inline-four 948cc motor…

Tiger, Speed Twin and Trident news for 2025… Tiger Sport 800 Déjà vu?

Tim Neave rides Kawasaki’s new 500s. Here’s what Tim told MoreBikes: I get so used to riding big bikes that it’s often all too easy to overlook the smaller-capacity motorcycles – and just like myself, good things come in small packages.
