An interesting early Kawasaki video showing some of their other industries, plus some bike development bits...

When you look at the testing & development facilities (07:01 to 07:25, 08:47 to 09:55), CAD/CAM machinery, robotics, computerised distribution system etc, they were so far ahead of the British bike industry in 1972 it was ridiculous!

Jap crap eh?

A cool watch showing the early days of the industrial giant with many irons in the fire.

The musical director wants a good shoeing though.

Great video, that one, Tony.
I’ve not seen that before.
Cheers.

Skub, I was lucky enough to get a factory tour in 1989, and it didn’t look too much different then.
Even though, by ‘89, they were 5 years into building the GPz900!
Agree with on the music score too.

Brilliant. That's one for the memory banks.
