It is the name of the founder of the company.
To all the knowledgeable above, you may be surprised by all the MANY industries Kawasaki is involved with in the world. It is much more then motorcycles.
Check out Kawasaki's history as well.

No real meaning, there was a Mr .Kawasaki who founded the company. There was a Mr. Honda too, but Toyota was founded by a Mr. Toyoda, but changed the name for it to sound better.

For the guy that posted lemon...
Wake up dude, we are in a new world full of new technologies and there are better things than what you have (that's if you have something)!!! Don't be jealous and face it!!! Maybe you should check Kawasaki out, I'm sure you'll have a change of mind in no time!!! Unless you are a child then you just have to grow out of it.

There was actually a letter in Performance Bikes magazine in about 1994 asking this question... and a Japanese linguistics tutor answered it. It's been a long time, but it means something like 'place of many leaves' or 'village near a mountain' or something.
Sorry I can't be more specific!

It is a Japanese surname, pronounced (as near as you can write in phonetic English) 'Kawaski'.
