Guide To Kawasaki Jet Ski

The Kawasaki Jet Ski is one of the most popular personal watercrafts in the world.  Like its competition, the Yamaha Waverunner, the Honda Aquatix and the Sea-Doo, the Kawasaki Jet Ski is praised by users as being fast, easy to handle, and easy to use.  It's also considered safer, thanks to its lack of an external motor.

Since its debut in 1973, riders and professionals--including lifeguards and police officers--agree that Kawasaki is producing a great product.  At the 24th International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA) World Finals, the most prestigious watersports event in the world, nine out of ten of the riders in the Pro Sports division opted to race on Kawasaki Jet Skis.

Kawasaki makes Jet Skis for individual and passenger use.  Of the former, one of the most popular is the 800 SX-R.  Professional reviewers claim it balances thrills with stability.  It is built with a wide range of safety features.  New models are typically listed around $6,000.

Multi-passenger Jet Skis include the STX-15F, the STX-12F, the and 900 STX.  The 12F is very popular with those looking for a Jet Ski with muscles enough to pull skiiers.  However, most reviewers agree that the 900 STX makes for an ideal "first" Jet Ski.  It scores high across the board in terms of reliability, maneuverability, ease of use, fun and safety.
