The 2011 Kawasaki W800 Cafe Style is a tribute to the bikes of yore. The W800 Cafe Style takes things even further back in the past with a retro styling one does not simply find these days any more.

This classic machine sports a solo seat and a vintage bikini cowl, with darkened engine, frame and exhaust lines, in a nice contrast with the golden anodised rims. The power and torque ratings are the same: 48 PS and a max torque already available at 2500 rpm for the ultimate riding fun.

The design retains the huge retro headlamp, metal fenders, peashooter-style dual silencers and the classic tank.
