The JET SKI STX packs nearly 40 years of Kawasaki JET SKI and Ninja performance know-how into a highly advanced, ruggedly reliable craft that delivers an unbeatable performance-to-price ratio. Though it leaves off a few non-essential items to keep the price down, the STX is still packed with all sorts of good things, like Smart Learning Operation (SLO), Kawasaki Smart Steering (KSS) and, oh yeah a 1498cc four-stroke four-cylinder engine thatll leave other PWCs in its price range sucking wake. Big power and great handling are definitely part of the package.
