Watercraft riders seeking rock-steady stability, powerful acceleration and all-day comfort from a personal watercraft need look no further than the new Jet Ski Ultra 260LX. Sharing the same
supercharged 1,498-cubic-centimeter DOHC in-line, four-cylinder engine and deep-V hull found in Kawasakis Ultra 260X performance flagship, the 260LX adds first class paintwork and a luxury touring
seat to the stellar performance of the 260X. The relationship between these two Jet Ski watercraft is analogous to the relationship between Kawasakis mighty Ninja ZX-14 superbike and its supersport
touring cousin, the Concours 14. The new Ultra 260LX features more performance than most pure-sport personal watercrafts while offering long-distance comfort and utility like a Concours 14.
