The annual motorcycle show is the event that marks the opening of the motorcycle season.
Kawasaki is expected to unveil its new model for the first time at the first of these shows, the Osaka Motorcycle Show, which starts on March 17.
The model is unknown, but we would like to explore it by looking back at the scoops so far.
ZX-4R has already been announced, and the remaining new models are:
Tokyo, and Nagoya venues, and we can expect even more power-ups than in 2022 when the show was held for the first time in three years after the Corona disaster. And at the Osaka Motorcycle Show starting Friday, March 17, companies should announce new models for Japan.
Of particular interest for 2023 is Kawasaki, which just announced the new ZX-4R/ZX-4RR in the US and Europe on February 1. Furthermore, the new models are expected to be unveiled at the Japanese motorcycle show as well. Therefore, we would like to take a look back at the scoops reported in the past that have not appeared to date.
The first scoop on the Meguro 250 is the Meguro Junior, which has its roots in Estrella. Will it be the successor to Estrella? This is what we are talking about.
I expected the same development as the Meguro K3 based on the W800 in 2021.
And the Eliminator 250 scooped up a new model with the ZX-25R's parallel four-cylinder engine. They also predicted the existence of a Z250FOUR with the same four-cylinder. The new Eliminator 250 could also be powered by the Ninja 250's parallel two-cylinder engine, according to additional information.
Of course, there is also the possibility of models other than these three. Please visit the exhibition hall to find out!
