- Black is a beautiful contrast for the Kawasaki W800 SE Black Edition. This latest form of Kawasaki's retro delivers classic motorcycling without much of the chrome, or the pain.
The 773cc fuel injected engine, with its gear-driven overhead cam and multi-valve head provides relaxed performance and fuel-efficiency. All whilst the ghost of BSA wafts past your subconsious.
The W800 is all the more wonderful all black, with lashes of crinkle, polished, matte, and chrome finishes. Indeed the finish needs a mention here. Some may question the black pipes, and elect for custom ones. However, as it stands, Kawasaki have nailed the concept of the classic parallel twin integrating modern elements of design without losing the feel of the original machine - which is one hell of a balancing act.
The cosmetic details are outstanding, from the wire spoked, black anodised rims, crinkle black pipes, black chrome tank badge, classic instruments and old school switchblocks which all harken back to the days of yore. Passers by most often accusing it of being a resto, or a British bike of some kind. All achieved without leaking a drop of oil. So authentic in many ways, with the charm of yesteryear, yet with the convenience and performance of a modern motorcycle, this black jack, could just be the ace of spades.
Its cool to see a classic bike
much nicer than the bonny, rare, quality, reliable, feel good bike. love the bevel drive.
Reminds me of the old triumph/BSA. I'll bet it doesn't leak oil as much either good job🇯🇵
They need to sell these over here in the U.S.
they do now =)
Can't wait for the comparison to the other bikes in this class. Royal enfield, Triumph, that new Yamaha they've come out with, and maybe even a Ccw misfit?
This bike reminds me of those excellent Yamaha XS650's of days gone by.
Great video mate I really like this bike 👍
Cheers bikers
Yeah just found out they made this line........but not sold here in the states. WTF?! There are plenty of us that love this style of bike. Hopefully soon enough, because all the other Japanese manufactures seem to realize this and are offering them here(Honda CB 1100, Yamaha SCR 950/xsr 900/sr 400 "new for 2017", Suzuki Tu250x "ok it is small but hopefully they will also offer a larger). Plus of course we get the Triumphs, BMW, Ducati and even the Royal Enfields. Yes I know we Americans are needy.
Can I use this bike in the winter in London
I've been dreaming to have a Bonneville, but I can't cause it's not marketed in my country now I have an alternative.
I love this bike tell me available in India
Now, if it had chrome exhaust and bare engine it would be perfect
Eww, chrome
nice looking
Why not get the street twin 2016 instead??
+Yogesh Kumar Why not? It probably comes down to the styling touches you like the most
Because everyone buys the street twin? Because it's a Kawasaki? Why would you buy a street twin? It doesn't look as nice as the Kawa and sure as hell is not as reliable (I have owned Triumphs, nice but not the best built bikes in the world).
Yogesh Kumar simply because the w800 looks more retro and is every bit as reliable as a Japanese bike should be
Have you ever owned a triumph yourself?
kees ketsers
can i ask your height ?
Ryan is about 6’ 5”
This bike should have a 270 or 315 degree Crankshaft .. then it would have a Cool exhaust note . and have an all white colour option . Hope Kawasaki is listening ..
no
Nothing cooler sounding than a 360 degree parallel twin. The sound of 1950's and 60's when the British motorcycles ruled the roads and the race tracks globally lad!
Get SV650, which is a similar bike but superior in every respect! Its lighter, smoother and more powerful! It also has tubeless tires!
The SV us an excellent bike but doesn't have that 60's and 70's British style look that is so appealing.
Sv650 is nothing like the w800, what are you talking about?
@@OlSkool001 It's similar to people who seek a regular standard bike for commuting. Style is irrelevant, it has no function.
@@goldpilgrim V twin vs parallel twin, apples and oranges lad!
