The line of B8 motorcycles was the first to carry the full [[Kawasaki]] name. Based on it's predecessor, the Meihatsu B7 which used Kawasaki engines, the B8's were very popular in Japan because of their durability and low cost. The 125cc two-stroke engine produced 8 horsepower at 8,000rpm and was designed based on technical knowledge garnered from the development and production of aircraft engines. In fact, the tank badges read "Kawasaki Aircraft". | |||
