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.

2012 Kawasaki W800 Special Edition

The 2012 Kawasaki W800 Special Edition boasts the sober matte/ satin black color scheme, but this year's model replaces the gold anodised rims with the same dark tone, while changing the color of the tank, now a dark cherry with a black racing stripe.

The motorcycle retains all the classic features, such as peashooter silencers, old-school chromed vertical parallel-twin engine, rubber knee pads and the ribbed one-piece seat. 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.

On the tech side, the 2012 Kawasaki W800 Special Edition keeps things the way they were: a 773cc engine producing 48 PS and offering the max torque straight from 2500 rpm for an exceptional feeling of the motorcycle in all condition, slow city rides included. Multiple accessories are also available.
