Kawasaki has launched its new 2008 range of motorcycles at a special event on the eve of the 2007 Paris Motorcycle Show.
Take a look at our picture gallery of the 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R, which was first lowered from above the stage, before being ridden back into the room by PSG-1 Kawasaki World Superbike star Regis Laconi.
The 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R has been designed to be smaller and lighter, and also to offer larger contact areas for riders hanging off around corners. Kawasaki's presentation put great weight behind their current and future racing success, and this was underlined by the use of All-Japan Superbike star, and former World Superbike rider; Akira Yanagawa, who ran through testing the 2008 Kawasaki ZX-10R on video.
The other 2008 Kawasaki motorcycles launched at the event were the Kawasaki ZXR250 Ninja, the 2008 Kawasaki VN2000, and the 2008 Kawasaki ZZR1400.
