Kawasaki has added to the Plus X Award given to the Z1000 for "innovation, quality and design" by scooping the "Best Product of the Year 2014" in the "Best Naked Bike of the Year" category.
The Kawasaki brand has also captured what the company describes the highest honour of the Plus X Awards, the "Most Innovative Brand Award" in the motorcycle category.
Now in its 11th year, the Plus X Award programme features an international and independent panel of judges from 25 industries, 23 "competent partners" and a marketing investment of more than 25 million euro. It is claimed that this is the world’s largest innovation competition for technology, sports and lifestyle.
At the Plus X Award Night on June 5th, 2014 in the old Bundestag building in Bonn, Germany, Masatoshi Yoshioka (right), Branch Manager of Kawasaki-Branch Germany, and Michael Belz (left), Manager Administration & Finance, accepted the Plus X Award trophies. Kawasaki say that the awards recognise their " new and innovative technology, exceptional design, intelligent, easy to use operating systems, outstanding ergonomic and ecological features, and the use of high quality materials and processes".
