Established as Kawasaki Aircraft Company to primarily produce components and parts from aeroplanes, Kawasaki began their first venture into the world of motorcycles in 1949 with a motorbike engine. Taking three years to develop and complete, it was mass manufactured a year later as a 148cc engine, featuring a four stroke, single cylinder and had a maximum power output of 4 PS.

Twelve months on in 1954, the first fully complete motorbike was manufactured under Meihatsu, a part of the larger Kawasaki Aircraft Company. However, it took six years for the company to build a dedicated company to motorbikes and in 1960, with the opening imminent, the company bought Meguro Motorcycles and began mass producing motorbikes immediately.

Over the years, Kawasaki has entered teams into various racing contests, with their first success coming in 1969 when Dave Simmonds won the 125cc World Championship.

Shadowing over all other motorbike teams throughout the mid-1970’s to the mid-1980’s, Kawasaki reaped medal upon medal in various classes and firmly established themselves in the racing scene with their world class motorbikes.

After several years of racing with different teams and riders, in 2007 Kawasaki created a subsidiary company of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Motors Racing to take care of all racing activities that Kawasaki are involved in – primarily the MotoGP team.

Only winners of one Superbike World Championship (in 1993), whilst Reg Pridmore and Eddie Lawson are credible mentions, two of Kawasaki’s most famous riders are definitely Anton Mang and Kork Ballington. Mang won several World Championships for Kawasaki in the early 1980’s in the 250cc and 350cc categories whilst Ballington was Mang’s predecessor, winning World Championships in both 1978 and 1979, for both the 250cc and 350cc categories.

Whilst Mang and Ballington are famous for riding Kawasaki motorbikes, Kawasaki’s greatest winner and most popular rider is definitely ride Doug Chandler. The American rider raced for Kawasaki throughout the 1990’s and early 2000’s, winning three AMA Superbike Championship’s throughout his time – the first in 1990, the second in 1996 and the final in 1997. One of only four riders to win the AMA Grand Slam – a mile, half-mile, short track, TT and road race – Chandler was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2006.

As well as racing bikes, Kawasaki have produced some fantastic on-road bikes. From the early 1990’s KSE500 to the popular KZ900, Kawasaki’s most famous bikes are definitely their Ninja range. With just under 20 bikes with the Ninja tag, they are popular amongst all sorts of riders, as there is a bike for all types and competency’s of riders. Starting back in the mid 1980’s with the Ninja ZXR 750 to the currently massively popular ZZR1400, each bike carries the same, famous Kawasaki characteristics but is individual in its own right. Its also important to mention that due to their very own nature, Kawasaki Motorcycles has always played the role of Maverick in the industry and that a feeling of independence from their main competitors has always been present.

The only issue is finding Kawasaki motorbike insurance – they’re so popular and so fast, it’s difficult to find a cheap premium to actually get your Kawasaki bike out onto the road.

So you’re riding your bike or moped to work one morning and hit a patch of diesel. Next thing you know, you are sitting on the pavement looking at your motor vehicle in pieces all around you. What do you do next?

Getting home that day, the first thing to do is dig out all your motorbike or moped insurance paperwork, and call your insurance company. Chances are you have arranged your insurance through a broker and they have placed you with a larger company.

Rather than your paperwork being passed back and forth across the country, you will be given a telephone number for both a solicitor, if you opted for legal assistance when taking out your policy, and a direct telephone number for your insurance company to deal with. In an effort to speed up the claims process, all insurers’ deals directly with the client to settle the claim at the earliest possibly date.

Motorcycle claims can take anything from a month to several years to settle depending on the circumstances.

Now, in the event that a nice car driver decides to pull out in front of you, bouncing you across his bonnet, you will need to pursue a claim against him, there are two ways of doing this.

1. You can pursue the claim yourself providing evidence of the damage to the third parties insurance company. This evidence may include repair estimates for work that needs to be done to your bike, any damages to your helmet, leathers, or clothing. It could also include evidence of the use of a hire vehicle whilst your own vehicle is off the road. This process can be lengthy, and without experience dealing with this, you can find it difficult.

2. When taking out your motorbike/moped insurance, you may have been asked whether you would like legal assistance, or it may have been included in your policy. If this was the case, after a non-fault accident you are provided with a team of solicitors, with years of experience, to deal with your claim.

The solicitors can arrange the inspection of your vehicle for repairs, a hire-vehicle to be delivered, or arrange necessary doctors’ appointments for any personal injury. With a team of experienced solicitors working for you, this can help the claim be settled much faster, and for every cost to be recovered, including their own, meaning you don’t have to pay any extra for this service.

The effect on your insurance can vary depending on the circumstances of the claim; a non-fault accident should not make any difference, providing the claim is settled before taking out a new policy or renewing an existing one. Fire, theft, or fault accidents all have much greater effects on your motorbike/moped insurance, not only will the claim count against you, but you may also lose your no claims discount if it was not protected.

There is no set figure per accident that your insurance will increase by; each accident needs to be looked at individually, depending on the age of the claim, the amount paid for any damages and who was to blame.

In the event that a driver with no insurance hits you, do not expect not to be paid out, the Motor Insurance Bureau will pay compensation for your damage or injuries, provided the uninsured vehicle can be identified. This is the reason on average you pay an extra 30 pounds for your insurance policy, the Insurance Premium Tax making up 5% of your premium goes towards paying for uninsured drivers, increasing the cost of your motorbike insurance.

Accidents can happen anywhere, anytime, and have all kinds of effects on your insurance. To make your life easier collect as much information as possible from all parties involved. And, as your insurance company will say, never admit liability.
