Kevin Shaw

May 11, 2023

I’ve been vocally advocating for a fully-loaded naturally-aspirated Ultra from Kawasaki since the first supercharged luxury JetSki debuted in 2014. Until today, Kawasaki’s offerings for a non-supercharged full-sized runabout were the solitary stripped-down-to-the-bones Ultra LX ...
