2024 marks the centennial anniversary of the founding of Meguro, one of Japan’s oldest motorcycle brands. Now for the 250cc class, Kawasaki introduces the Meguro S1, an air-cooled retro classic model that inherits 100 years of heritage and trust. Iconic styling that comes straight from the 1964 Kawasaki 250 Meguro SG is accompanied by pleasant ride feel that combines a feel-good beat at low-rpm and a lively character at high-rpm—making it a true successor to what was one of Meguro’s last road sport models. Meanwhile, a lightweight chassis and low seat height make it an excellent entry into the World of Meguro for everyone who loves the brand.
