Stunnigly beautiful little bike. It will not have it easy next to Royal Enfield 350 Classic, but with that low weight and height it will be more accesible to new female riders. Price is actually below RE Classic here in Germany. I will definitely check it out.
There is a huge market for smaller capacity retro-classic motorcycles in India that is currently dominated by Royal Enfield and Honda CB350. Kawasaki would be making a mistake if they do not bring this machine to India (edit: at a competitive and reasonable price, that is).
The 2025 w230 is selling at 5000 euros, basically the same price as a classic 350 here, they are definitely aiming at taking a slice of royal Enfield market with this bike, which is objectively a beautiful motorcycle. Is it better than a classic 350? I don't know, only time will tell.
@@paulo49676 they are basically the same except the meguro s1 has a different livery with crome tank and a meguro badge for the 100 years special meguro anniversary
Great look. Could benefit from a 300cc air-cooled engine and a lower price. Still a good concept. Might want to reduce weight of bike, to improve power to weight ratio and ease of handling.
Beautiful and surely a well-engineered motorcycle, but $6000 is steep compared to the Royal Enfield Meteors and Hunters in the entry level category. I'm not sure what niche the W230 is filling in the American market.
It's a beautiful bike, but still the question remains: why? For a bit more you can get a W800 for a bit less you can get a Classic 350. Unless the target demographic are well-off young, beginner riders, who is this for?
Hi Guy ! But is it a motorcycle for women? And if a man buys it, do the Harley guys make fun of him? It seems to me that 18 hp is not very powerful. Max torque at 5000 rpm and max 7000 is not exceptional! But I think it's an exceptional and durable engine!
@@kampfmeersau well then it's not an original icon. The original 650 didn't have height or weight restrictions. The classic example of taking something and making it cheaper and nowhere near as good as the original.
So it's a 230cc that is probably underpowered because its a retro, much like the W800... The other bikes on the 250 sector that are competing against you? Where are they? Are they here with us? You're not competing with anyone. You should have just made a 125cc because Royal Enfield has more powerful bigger engine offers for probably about the same price 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Nice waist of money on RnD and everything else. Looks good, but seeing that it probably won't make 120kph easily like the bikes RE have, this won't sell 🤷🏽♂️ Edit: Just watched a top speed run. 113kph max 💀. I'm sorry, but it'll probably flop Edit 2: Wait so instead of releasing the K3 in Europe you released the S1? A single cylinder with no character? 💀 Brilliant thinking I say 🤦🏽♂️
This is such a beautiful design.
Beatiful! Great to see nice classic motorcycles manufactured again. 😊
先月「目黒とメグロの回顧展」で初めて拝見致しました。4台とも素敵なマシンでした。日本でのデビューを、今か今かと心待ちに致しております。
That’s how a motorcycle should look. Very cool indeed 🇬🇧
A motorcycle marketing video with information about the bike. Very rare. Thank you!
Such a beautiful bike. Would test drive no hesitation.
Kawasaki marketing taking some notes from @FortNine videos.
I hope not, this video was mostly a slide show with some genetic film translations lol.
I have one 250. Kawazaki Estrella. Only two of them in my country. Always get alot of looks when parking ❤
And in places like Vietnam, an Etrella can cost more than a new W650!

Launch this bike in India! It’ll make a big impact ❤Beautiful and elegant 👌
We indian want this machin

W 175 ke bajaye W 230 Launch karna chaiye tha India me to shayad accha response milta.
I` have bought new, the Kawasaki W-650 / EJ650A - 676 ccm (1999). It is a very great motorcycle!
Please bring this to India❤
the idle engine sounds very similar to my klx 230 sm 😂
please bring them to Indonesia again Kawasaki!
Love the retro style.
Do NOT love the price.
$6K won't cut it in today's economy.
My new dream bike
Kawasaki 🙏 plz bring this motorcycle to India 🇮🇳 we are very eagerly waiting for some true classic retro motorcycle under 400cc real legend
I want one. Im reserving one.
That looks great, I would like one, but my Z200 from 1979 still works fine.
I had one of those, in 1977, I used to think of it as my modern Tiger cub.
This is what Im dreaming of...❤ 🇮🇩
Gorgeous 😍😍
hello kawasaki please bring it to india i want to own this bike absolutely amazing looks.
Bring it to India 🥰
Piękny motocykl
From 2.23-2.29 like a cat purring.
Nice. Might buy.
I hope this will be available in Asia, hoping to be in Philippines too

It already won my heart - now it is the time to win my wallet.
Olá Kawasaki gostaria muito que a W230 viesse para o Brasil 🇧🇷 eu compraria uma!!!
Compra nada. …so tem dinheiro pra cg 125 usado
When it will launch in india?????
India launch when? 😍
I'm really charmed by the W800 but I don't know how many people in the west are itching to buy this, though it looks beautiful!
Ah shit, if this comes to Canada in time I might be getting one of these instead of the Triumph I was eyeing
So cool!!
i love it but $5K+ is too steep
Very pretty machine, but I wouldn't swap my meteor for one.
Is it going to be available in Europe?
Talvez, ela está no site da Kawasaki Europe
I can see it on the Italian Kawasaki website for 4.999 euros , meguro s1 version for 5.999 euros
@@dedosauro €5000 it's not a bad price, I hope they are not more expensive once they come available in Malta.
@@dedosauro qual é a diferença entre as duas motos?
@@paulo49676 they are basically the same except the meguro s1 has a different livery with crome tank and a meguro badge for the 100 years special meguro anniversary
Classy 😊
古のW650がかっこよすぎる…
I once owned a W-650, and i like this W230 but believe its overpriced. Maybe Kawasaki will fix that..
Bring this and the W800 to Brazil.
BELLISSIMA 🌻
Should have tubeless spoke wheels. Its now 2024
plz launch in INDIA ????
I'm waiting for it to arrive in Mexico to buy it, don't delay.
購入するためにメキシコに到着するのを待っています。遅らせないでください。
I'm assuming we won't get this one in the UK...we don't get the W800 anymore either!
Philippine release? I'd buy this in a heartbeat!
Will we see it in the German market?
bring this to Canada please
Great look.
Could benefit from a 300cc air-cooled engine and a lower price. Still a good concept.
Might want to reduce weight of bike, to improve power to weight ratio and ease of handling.
Does it have a centre stand?
Kick lever?

It’s filling the Royal Enfield niche.
@@brentcollins9727Kawasaki is KAWASAKI🤷
Dual dials❤❤ please launch this in India pls
Waiting for buy from india
Will it be launched in India?
Quand arrive t elle en Europe ... C ' est prévu !
Bring it to India will competative pricing
Please launch in india. Indian wait this bike
It's a beautiful bike, but still the question remains: why? For a bit more you can get a W800 for a bit less you can get a Classic 350. Unless the target demographic are well-off young, beginner riders, who is this for?
A bit more? W800 Is double the price 😅
Is it coming to india
❤❤❤
Warum gibt es dieses Motorrad nicht in Deutschland?
It is FI or still carburator? I wish they made into FI for this one so i dont worry about gas when touring alone
there is still has, no fuel gauge right?
WAY too much money for what it is.
カワサキさん、写真じゃなくて動画で走ってる姿が見たいです。
Launch in Portugal
Is this bike EURO5 certified?
Philippine release?
Nice! but i prefer the style of Kawasaki BJ 250 Estrella RS (1995-99).
hope they make a w400
Please bring to Indonesia
Bring to Indonesia please
@kawasaki Indonesia
Bring back W400
Discontinue the W175 in India and launch this instead
India want w230
Please launch this in india
Bring this to ph
Why don't they put halogen lights in classic bikes
Get this to india. I want to buy one.
Why w175 was crtized "widow Maker"
Hi Guy ! But is it a motorcycle for women? And if a man buys it, do the Harley guys make fun of him? It seems to me that 18 hp is not very powerful. Max torque at 5000 rpm and max 7000 is not exceptional! But I think it's an exceptional and durable engine!
Secure man won't care. Every bike has virtues, vices and quirks.
@@libraeotequever3pointoh95 Ok ! You said the right things ! 🤓
If you're a 5'2 woman But there's no way that bike fits an average size person.
It’s a 230cc. If you are more than 5‘10 or weigh more than 150 pounds you should get a bigger engine anyway.
@@kampfmeersau well then it's not an original icon. The original 650 didn't have height or weight restrictions. The classic example of taking something and making it cheaper and nowhere near as good as the original.
