Updates From Kawasaki
It appears our friends at Kawasaki have been keeping very busy this season. We’ve gathered up a few of the activities and events that have been going on for Team Green:
Texas Trophy Hunters Association
Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. has announced that it has entered into an agreement to be the Official Utility Vehicle of the Texas Trophy Hunters Association (TTHA). The Kawasaki MULE PRO-series vehicles will be used on the award-winning outdoor television show, TROPHY HUNTERS TV and will be featured in The Journal of the Texas Trophy Hunters magazine.
“We are excited to be working with such a widely recognized voice in the hunting community,” said Kawasaki Vice President of Marketing, Chris Brull. “The Texas Trophy Hunters Association and its events are an excellent platform for the MULE PRO-series of vehicles and the Kawasaki STRONG brand.”
The Kawasaki MULE™ products will feature at four of the TTHA Hunters Extravaganza Outdoor Exposition events in Houston, Corpus Christi, Fort Worth and San Antonio, Texas. At these events, members will see the complete lineup of Kawasaki MULE products and accessories. New members who register with the TTHA will also have a chance to win a MULE PRO-FXT™ – the award-winning Kawasaki side x side, which features a powerful three-cylinder engine, selectable all-wheel drive and locking differential, comfortable independent suspension, and a unique Trans Cab system that allows the user to convert the cabin from single-row, three-seat capacity to a double-row, six-seater in less than a minute.

2015 American International Motorcycle Expo
The American International Motorcycle Expo (AIMExpo) and Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., (KMC) announced today that the manufacturer has joined the growing list of OEM exhibitors set to take part in the third annual event, to be held October 15-18, 2015 at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in Orlando. Kawasaki returns for its second year, where it will again host public debuts of new products for the 2016 model year.
Highlighted by the global unveiling of the Vulcan S cruiser, as well as the North American debut of the Ninja H2 R motorcycle, Kawasaki experienced first-hand benefits during its first year of participation that can be derived from the all-inclusive platform provided by AIMExpo.
“We are delighted to be returning to AIMExpo for a second year and will again use this opportunity to bring a number of new products to the marketplace,” said Kevin Allen, Kawasaki Manager, PR + Brand Experience. “The ability to connect with the global media, our dealer network and the general public were key factors that contributed to our decision to return to Orlando. We’re looking forward to building on the success we had last year as we bring an even more engaging and personalized experience to the show floor.”
Kawasaki will unveil an all-new exhibitor display featuring the very latest in interactive technologies to engage, entertain and inform the wide variety of attendees – media, retailer and consumer – at booth #239 inside the OCCC. The space will showcase the legendary performance brand’s vast array of two and four-wheel products, including the recently unveiled Z800 ABS mid-level streetfighter and KX 450F off-road bike, in addition to the MULE PRO Series and Teryx families of side by sides.
Inside Kawasaki’s booth will be an exclusive Vulcan S Ergo-Fit area designed to help riders establish a custom fit aboard the entry-level cruiser that was debuted last year at AIMExpo. Alongside the fully adjustable Vulcan S product line will be a showcase of custom-built Vulcan S motorcycles designed by some of the top bike builders in the nation. The lineup of custom cruisers will first be unveiled at a special event at the Ace Cafe Orlando.
“From its worldwide media unveiling of the Vulcan S cruiser last year in the Chapin Theater prior to the opening of trade days, to hosting their dealer network and interacting with consumers, Kawasaki leveraged the AIMExpo platform to its full potential and advantage,” said Larry Little, Vice President and General Manager of AIMExpo. “And the grand stage that we envisioned for AIMExpo was on full display with the North American debut of the radical Ninja H2R motorcycle, generating an amazing amount of media from the show floor in Orlando. We’re thrilled to have Kawasaki back for its second year and look forward to seeing all of their 2016 models on display in Orlando.”
More than 400 exhibitors have already committed to AIMExpo in 2015. Exhibitor presence builds each day and companies looking to take advantage of the AIMExpo platform should contact an AIMExpo Account Manager toll free at 855-MCShows (855-627-4697).
