12/5/2025 2:58am As of the end of last year Itochu own twenty percent of Kawasaki motors https://www.itochu.co.jp/ja/news/press/2024/241108.html Kawasaki had a small problem of too much stock Compounded with Building a factory in Mexico (they got trumped) Which hampered their overall financial performance so Itochu canned a heap of projects which is why I wouldn’t be surprised if the two stroke revival project...
