The consortium has production plants in Japan, USA, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand. The history of Kawasaki Motorcycles starts in 1878, when the founder of the company, Shozo Kawasaki established a factory named Kawasaki Tsukiji Shipyard in Tokyo, Japan.

The company also had major roles in gas turbines, biomass power plants, renowned engineering skills in industrial plants, environmental protection facilities, industrial equipment, construction machinery and steel structures.

In 1896, the company was re-branded and incorporated as Kawasaki Dockyard Co. Ltd. By the mid of 20th century, Kawasaki Heavy Industries signed up in a contract with Meguro Motorcycles, an old Japanese motorcycle manufacturing firm to take over the consortium. In 1952, Kawasaki Machine Industry produced its first motorcycle engine, the KE-1. It was a 148cc, Single air-cooled, OHV, 4-stroke engine generated a maximum power of 4 PS at 4,000 rpm. In 1953, Kawasaki began the mass production. In 1956, Kawasaki launched its first motorcycle, the KB -5A, with the brand logo 'Kawasaki'. In 1960, Kawasaki founded a dedicated factory with all facilities to build motorcycles and commenced sales of Kawasaki 12 New Ace. The Pet and the 125B7 were unveiled in 1961.

In the same year, Kawasaki set a benchmark by introducing its first fully made motorcycle, the 125B8, exclusively manufactured by Kawasaki Aircraft Company. Then it was introduced into the market in 1962. In 1963, the B8M won the top 6 positions in the Hyogo Prefecture Motocross Tournament.

The Z1 was equipped with a giant 900 cc engine.

In 1983, Kawasaki scribed something very new and special to the motorcycle world by launching the most famous super bike ever, the GPZ900R (Ninja 900), at Monterey, in California.
