Yamaha spun off it's motor division decades ago.
Official press release is here:

That is quite a big news, no drama but they will for sure look more at the bottom line rather than as a part of their branding effort.
Google restructured itself as Alphabet. It did this for financial purposes and to move assets, debts, operating expenses, and the myriad of other financial machinations into a new business entity.
But i want purple plastics
Overall however, this is more of an internal change, not a top down change.

"The Power Sports Business which comprises a part of the Motorcycle & Engine Business, includes motorcycles and off-road four wheelers, and is Kawasaki's only mass-production consumer-facing business. Spinning off this business will speed up decision making, and by offering products and services in sync with customers - including new lifestyle offerings - Power Sports will further enhance its role as the flagship Group business building the strong Kawasaki brand.
In the short term, we will continue working to improve our financial situation. However, when taking a broad view of the industry as a whole, it faces significant issues such as an aging customer base and compliance with environmental regulations. Kawasaki is strengthening intra- industry cooperation - such as through joint development of electric drive and advanced safety technologies as well as greater commonality of functional parts - in order to catalyze growth in the Power Sports Business and achieve market revitalization."
Oh and they aren't selling anything as other have pointed out. They're basically refocusing the business which should be a positive change for the moto industry.
