Kawasaki is riding high in the United Arab Emirates right now as it just posted a 45% increase in its sales in the country over last year. It is not even known exactly what led to the incredible increase in sales in the country, but it was the Ninjas that led the way with the most units sold in the first 10 months of the year.
One factor in Kawasaki's success was its attractive financing offers with as low as 2.99% interest and zero down payments. Certain credit cards also qualified for a zero percent interest.
In a country like the UAE where there is a lot of money, buying a sportsbike can easily become a trend. They almost sell themselves.
Can't blame them, Kawasaki makes some of the best bikes, if you want to go fast for a good price, Kawi is where you want to spend your money. Wouldn't be surprised if they get color scheme's and special edition models just for their market.
I think it's only natural that a market that calls for a lot of high performance and high end cars would also want high power bikes. Car can be limiting, mainly due to their weight and size.
Not too surprised here. If you put anything luxury on the market in the UAE it will do well. Its not like I've seen web news articles that talk about the coolest bike that was spotted in Dubai recently though. I want to see some ridiculous motorcycles that some oil heir owns in Dubai.

Everything is going great for them right now. Check back in 50 years or so when all the oil is gone and it might be a different story. I wonder why the 45% growth now though. it doesn't really seem like the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 would be the most popular bike in the country. I would expect something far more powerful and expensive to be the top seller.

Oil might be one of the things really helping them but for all we know they could have used that money to invest into other things instead of blowing it only on fun stuff.
The U.S. economy is far worse off and will continue to be in the future. I see the UAE being better off. The U.S. owes China and some other nations big time.
I had my first issue with my 2017, all stock with the exception of a 190/55 and this evening I jumped on to head home and once I got on the highway, up to 3rd or 4th it seemed to act up, almost like it lost power then came back and then the TC and CEL's lit up. The TC flashed the entire ride...
Anyone have problems with their ignition key being inserted into the bike's ignition ?
I've noticed its been getting more difficult throughout the summer. Then, at times, when I go to turn it to start the bike, it won't turn as easy as it use to. Almost have to pull up on it ever so...
Some may have seen this on FB, and hopefully Don may check in and add to this.
In Colorado yesterday mid morning, was able to keep it up. From what I gather he was at or very near legal speed, saw it as it launched onto the road. Made as much adjustment to miss it as he had time for, braced for...
I have enjoyed my 2013 more than I anticipated. Didn't expect to have it this long or for it to be such a competent touring bike. That said, I'd like a newer model that has the more integrated bags. Plus, mine isn't ABS and I'd like to have that.
I haven't kept up on the new generations out...
Pulled the comparison up on Kawasaki:
C14 - 690 lbs, 158hp
ZX14 - 593 lbs, 208hp
1000SX - 514 lbs, 140hp
My weak *** has to be careful moving the N1000 in and out of the garage, I can't imagine another 176lbs.
I still want to test ride the ZX14 and now the C14.
