Starting with a humble idea drawn on a cocktail napkin in August 1980, Kawasaki expanded the utility vehicle segment by creating the Kawasaki MULE™ side x side. That drawing later became the MULE 1000 in 1987. Today, Kawasaki offers a full line up of 30 MULE models, all evolved from this single unit. Over the past 30 years, Kawasaki has modified the MULE side x side to reflect current technology and market needs.
