They had hoped not to have to do it, but after Yamaha, Kawasaki has also increased prices for new 2022 Kawasaki models. The new prices apply to 2022 models ordered from today.
Price increases are a worldwide problem that is noticeable in several industries. In the case of Kawasaki, this price increase has been caused by an accumulation of factors.
Kawasaki cites the extreme price increases on the raw materials market, persistently high logistics costs such as the sea container price, high energy prices and, last but not least, disruption of production processes and logistics chains due to the Corona pandemic.
In the hope that the cost increases would be temporary, Kawasaki has recently made every effort to keep prices unchanged for this year, but they are only increasing and for that reason the green team has also been forced to decide the to raise prices for all 2022 models.
The price increase will take effect on 4 May 2022 and will affect all product groups. The price increase will not be passed on to customers who have ordered their engine before the price increase (signed customer order).
