KMIL Launches Kawasaki W800 Street at Rs 7.99 lakh

Kawasaki Motors India Ltd. recently launched 2019 Kawasaki W800 Street in India for Rs 7.99 lakh (ex-showroom). It is Kawasaki’s second retro-styled motorcycle after the Z900RS. However, the W800 Street will come to India via the SKD route. You can book the motorcycle at any of Kawasaki’s India dealers. Kawasaki will assemble the bike at its Chakan unit. Kawasaki India will bring the W800 to India via the Semi-Knocked Down route from Japan. Hence, the price of this motorcycle is a bit high.

2019 Kawasaki W800 Street is a retro-styled motorcycle which gets its inspiration from Kawasaki W1. Later, it became an inspiration for Kawasaki’s high-performance models such as the Z1 & H2. It uses a 773cc, air-cooled, parallel-twin engine that delivers a modest 47PS and 62.9Nm of torque. Also, the 5-speed gearbox comes with an assist-and-slipper clutch technology.

2019 Kawasaki W800 Street pays homage to the erstwhile W1 model which Kawasaki sold in 1965. At that time, the W1 was one of the most powerful Japanese bikes. It paved the way for development of Kawasaki’s legendary Z1 and H2 motorcycles. Furthermore, the bike has 18-inch aluminium spoke wheels and narrow section 100/90-18 front and 130/80-18 rear tyres. Besides, the Dual-channel ABS is standard. A single 320mm disc at front and 270mm rear disc carry out the braking duties. The W800 has a simple twin-pod analogue instrument console which showcases its retro appeal.
