    That is one incredible looking bike, it is like the British motor bikes of the 1960s, and 70s, absolutely fantastic.

    Kawasaki really hit it out of the park with the W800. It is so well built and with a premium finish: adjustable clutch and brake levers, LED lights all round, and ABS. Plus, the paint jobs are the best I have seen coming out of Japan. It just looks and feels like quality. I have the cafe version and just added some Omega Racing exhausts. They sound amazing with the baffle in and a huge weight savings too. They are single walled so they discolor, which I am cool with. If you are too and own a W800, I would recommend Omega's exhausts. This is my 5th bike and my 3rd Kawasaki. My other bike is a modern liquid cooled bike, but my Kawi is my daily rider because it more utilitarian, lighter, with a plusher suspension for crappy city road and get better mileage too.

      I agree. It’s very nice indeed. I sure wouldn’t mind having one. But unfortunately my wallet says no… 😢

    Beautiful bike! The older ones with chrome look so much better than the new black-ware ones. If I ever exchange my 1980 SR 500, it will be into either a W650 or a W800.

      w650's are also cool. One of my very first videos on my channel was of a w650: th-cam.com/video/bFN4epHOPlY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ldrc4EmNcaLgJu8C

    Great video! How's the rear brake being a drum brake? Does it stop fine?
    I recently sold a Triumph T100 and looking at a W800 2015, however the drum brake makes me wonder if it's a good option? Cheers from Australia!

      I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my video =)
      Honestly I have never had any problems when it comes to drum brakes on bikes so I don't think it would be a problem at all.
      I think the Kawasaki is a fine choice so don't worry about the brakes.

      Most bikes sounds weak and/or boring. But I think it would sound better and give a little more power with a slip-on or other pipes 👌😎
