Dubbed the SX-R, the latest in a long and successful line of solo stand-up JetSki personal watercraft from Kawasaki is sure to add further silverware to racing cabinets and attract thrill seekers to the Kawasaki brand according to Masanori Inoue, Managing Director of Kawasaki Motors Europe:

“The JetSki brand sends a powerful message about Kawasaki and our desire to create innovative and fun to ride products. Using technology from across our internal skill base – including the motorcycle division – we are confident that we will take stand up personal watercraft to a new level when the new four-stroke SX-R is unveiled in October this year.”
