The very first water scooter in the world, JetSki from Kawasaki, appeared about 40 years ago and contributed to the emergence of a new sector on the market, offering the buyer an unfamiliar form of personal water transport.
In recent years, the production of jet skis by leading manufacturers has been seriously reduced due to the introduction in many countries of new environmental bans aimed at protecting the environment. If you are not averse to plunge into the thrill, today is ready to offer you several modern models that will add a little adrenaline to your vacation. In this article, we will focus on the latest model of the Japanese manufacturer, under the brand name of which the first water scooter saw the light. The Kawasaki 800 SX-R, launched in 2011, is without a doubt worthy of being considered an option for those looking for a great jet ski. Due to its characteristics and pleasant appearance, this machine attracts the attention of not only amateurs, but also professionals.

The final model is the last stage of development, which climbed the water scooters of the "green company", the release of which started back in the seventies. The main advantage of the SX-R is its advanced features and easy handling. The jet ski has a two-stroke engine with a vertical arrangement of cylinders, whose working volume is 781 cc. A powerful motor is powered by two Mikuni carburetors. Moisture-proof and easy-to-use condenser ignition system with digital integration, aggressive timing of the exhaust window and an exhaust pipe with a large diameter - all this creates incredible power. However, this does not mean that there is a noisy and unreliable water scooter in front of you: to lower the temperature under the engine hood and suppress noise, the exhaust pipe is surrounded by a water cooling casing.
Excellent filling in a decent shell
The reasonably large innovative enclosure that the Kawasaki 800 SX-R water scooter possesses is also setting standards among its own kind. It is made of durable fiberglass, which helps to minimize the weight of the model without compromising reliability. The water scooter has a length and width of 2.3 and 0.7 m, which allows you to put it in a small truck. The weight of the jet ski without fuel is 170 kilograms, and three people will be required to move a jet ski overland. The advantage of the new model over older versions is its relatively simple operation. The high level of stability of the jet ski on the water is facilitated by a comfortable and fairly wide deck with soft upholstery, as well as a special hull design. It has a high level of security, regardless of whether you are moving in calm or surfing the waves. If you fall into the water, you can easily climb back onto the scooter. Fortunately, an aquatic form of entertainment suggests that falling overboard a jet ski is much less painful than falling from a land vehicle.
If you plan to make water walks along the coast, then a seated water scooter is suitable for you, and if you want to compete in speed, it is better to get a standing model. On it you can practice various tricks.
