Iconic bevel-gear-driven cam and the clean, classic lines of this beautiful air cooled Vertical Twin make it a key styling element of the W800 Street design.

The voluptuous curves of the fuel tank naturally draw the eye, making it another key styling element. Its larger volume gives it more presence, creating a more powerful impression than its predecessor.

W800 Cafe features a stylish two-person Cafe seat designed for comfort and sporty good looks.

  The twin mufflers were carefully tuned to bring out the characteristic note of the Vertical Twin’s 360o crankshaft engine configuration, a configuration maintained from Kawasaki’s original W, creating a hearty roar to complement every twist of the throttle.  

A number of Kawasaki genuine accessories allow riders to customise the W800 Cafe's classic looks or offer added comfort or convenience.

While maintaining the vintage ride feel of a true classic machine, 18” wheels both front and rear contribute to handling slightly sportier than that of the original W800.

W800 Street's classic upright-style handlebar brings the riders hands up and back in a position reminiscent of the W1.

Separate speedometer and tachometer are complemented by a simple LCD screen and a complete set of indicator lamps. 

A larger diameter front fork with stiffer springs, more rigid lower triple-clamp and stiffer rear shock complement the more rigid new frame.

A blend of retro and modern designs, the large ø170 mm LED headlamp casts a bright, white light for great night-time visibility. It features six chambers (four for low-beam, two for high-beam). Position lamps in the highbeam chambers ensure the whole lamp appears lit, like a retro-style bulb headlamp. Details like a convex lens and chromed headlamp ring add to the high-quality, classic design.
