IRVINE, Calif. (Mar. 5, 2002)
One of the most significant benefits of the recently announced alliance between Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) and Suzuki Motor Corp.Will be evident at Kawasaki\'s U.S. dealer showrooms with the introduction of some all new small displacement four stroke off road machines.

The alliance, which was created to allow the two brands to share certain production platforms, related sourcing, and engage in selected product co-development, was announced last August. Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (KMC), the consumer products marketing arm of Japan-based KHI, will soon provide additional details of product line enhancements that will support its dealer network\'s strong retail growth.

Among the first examples of Kawasaki\'s product line expansion are additions to the youth offerings currently available. The company\'s recent introduction of the KLX110 has been extremely well received and two new models in that category-the KLX125 and the KLX125L-will be available in June.
