Do you immediately think of green when you hear the Kawasaki name? Affectionately known as “Team Green” in the racing circuit, Kawasaki purposefully tied itself to the bold hue to differentiate itself from rivals and prove the unluckiness of green is merely a myth, at least in the world of Kawasaki. Although Kawasaki uses green as a good luck charm and symbol of its rich racing history, the Kawasaki fleet isn't limited to the Kermit-like color. You’ll see this firsthand when visiting a Kawasaki motorcycle dealer.

Fortunately, for those wondering, "Is there a Kawasaki motorcycle dealer near me?" look no further than SF Moto for your motorcycle needs, as we’re the only Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda, and Zero electric motorcycle dealer in San Francisco. While this honor gives us a distinct advantage, our efforts don’t stop there. Like Kawasaki, we’re dedicated to distinguishing ourselves from rivals by delivering a unique customer experience rooted in transparency, integrity, and pure excitement.

As a team that rides, we know the thrill of getting in the saddle and what it means to join the Kawasaki family. We also recognize the importance of helping our customers find the perfect bike based on their riding style, skill level, and plans for their future in the saddle. While other dealers rely on high-pressure sales tactics to upsell you a model out of your price and skill range, we take a different approach and learn more about who you are as a rider. Our goal is to help you get the most out of every ride, and that starts with choosing the perfect bike for your needs.

The Kawasaki Legacy

Long before motorcycles, Kawasaki opened its doors in the late 1890s as Kawasaki Heavy Industries. With Shozo Kawasaki at the helm, the country flourished and broadened its scope to include shipbuilding, electrical generating plants, and railroad rolling stock. These diverse interests made transportation a natural next step for the company, with Kawasaki officially building its first production motorcycle–a 125cc two-stroke called the B8–in the early 1960s.

Kawasaki’s first motorcycle met the growing demand for more efficient transportation, ultimately leading the company to the United States. Unlike other manufacturers that kept their facilities on native soil, Kawasaki thought outside the box and took production to America to cut costs and better meet the demands of Americans. The company transformed a meat warehouse in Chicago into its headquarters to save money and expanded to the East Coast with a second facility two years later.

Despite its ingenuity, Kawasaki didn’t have much to start with in America and relied solely on the quality of models like the B8. Fortunately, that was all it needed as Americans quickly discovered the Kawasaki brand. Before long, Kawasaki was renowned for building iconic Japanese motorcycles that boasted exquisitely unique designs, capable engines, and innovative technology. These characteristics set the stage for Kawasaki’s success in America and worldwide. Over time, the manufacturer carved a unique niche for building some of the fastest production motorcycles in the world that successfully satiated the need for speed without compromise.

Today, Kawasaki’s reputation is firmly planted in this legacy. Models like the Ninja GPZ9004 and Tomcat ZX-10 stand the test of time as record-breaking speed demons. At the same time, futuristic models like the H2, the industry's first supercharged production motorcycle, showcase Kawasaki’s commitment to constantly evolving its lineup. This ingenuity and the ongoing need to raise the bar define Kawasaki’s past, present, and future wherever you look.

We know every rider has unique needs; fortunately, so does Kawasaki. Our inventory is replete with a variety of bikes, from speed demons like the Ninja to road warriors like the Versys, W, Z, Concours, and Vulcan. You’ll find dual sports like the KLR alongside cross-country and motocross models like the KX, each of which has something distinct to offer. So, how do you know which model to choose?
