2011 Kawasaki W800[edit | edit source]
2010 brings a new, bigger and better version of the acclaimed W series: the Kawasaki W800. This bike sports the same classic design and attitude, but the engine is all-new.
The 773cc vertical-twin power unit produces 48 PS and thanks to its special tuning, the max torque is reached already at 2500 rpm, making the W800 extremely fun to ride in low and mid-range rpm. The new motorcycle also comes with an electric start and fuel injection, a 5-speed gearbox and chain final transmission.
The design retains the huge retro headlamp, metal fenders and one-piece ribbed seat, peashooter-style dual exhaust and classic tank. Dual gauge instrumentation is aided by a small, multi-function LCD screen for essential riding data.

The traditional 2-gauge instrumentation is complemented by a modern-era LCD screen with multiple functions and adjustable brake and clutch levers for a more confident feel of the bike.
