  • This brand new Street version of the rather classic Kawasaki W800 is one I personally appreciate in all its details. The blacked out parts make it stand out even more from the crowd.

    A billion W800 reviews out there but this is the first decent look at the Street version.
    I have a Harley Springer Classic and want to downsize, the common route is RE Super Meteor but I found the engine a bit meh.
    The "character" (vibration) of the W800 appeals more

    The sound with stock pipes is perfect. Deep and throaty.

    Kawasaki have done a fantastic job with the styling. It has progressed from something that didn't impress me in the early versions, but now with the blacked out engine cases, matte paint ... wow, this bike really touches the soul. Maybe I'm just getting older? I'm so glad it's an ongoing model, even if it's not a big seller (probably a good thing). I'm glad Kawasaki made a good thing better without some stupid bean counter taking off the market. Did I mention that I really love the black styling?

    Hi can i ask which you would pick out of this W800 or Interceptor 650 or Super Meteor 650. Can i ask if there is much difference in power and comfort and i would be taking pillion also. 👍

    • @gmmotomedia
      @gmmotomedia  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you're taking a pillion get the Super Meteor. The Kawasaki makes just about the same power but it's less agile then the Enfields. Suspension is way more plush though 👍

      Evaluate bore diameter, length of stroke, RPM and torque. Then check the design for potential riders. Performance enhancers are killing your motorcycle longevity. More is rarely better. What happens when you drive the speed limit mostly. Anything different not always a plus. In the Tool room we call it the “genius factor” think Wiley Coyote.
