Kawasaki W800 Test Ride and Specs

[@dgratale]

Kawasaki really hit it out of the park with the W800. It is so well built and with a premium finish: adjustable clutch and brake levers, LED lights all round, and ABS. Plus, the paint jobs are the best I have seen coming out of Japan. It just looks and feels like quality. I have the cafe version and just added some Omega Racing exhausts. They sound amazing with the baffle in and a huge weight savings too. They are single walled so they discolor, which I am cool with. If you are too and own a W800, I would recommend Omega's exhausts. This is my 5th bike and my 3rd Kawasaki. My other bike is a modern liquid cooled bike, but my Kawi is my daily rider because it more utilitarian, lighter, with a plusher suspension for crappy city road and get better mileage too.

I agree. It’s very nice indeed. I sure wouldn’t mind having one. But unfortunately my wallet says no… 😢 Thanks for watching my video. Feel free to subscribe to help my channel out

That is one incredible looking bike, it is like the British motor bikes of the 1960s, and 70s, absolutely fantastic.

I think the w800 looks and sounds incredible.

[@Darkvisor]

I do too 💪 Thanks for watching

[@Bob-xc2us]

I have the 2022 version of that bike with ABS, larger front brake disc and disc rear brake. It is an exceptional machine for normal riding. Not for the race track but perfect for on road traffic and does well on the 4 lane highways.

Great video! How's the rear brake being a drum brake? Does it stop fine? I recently sold a Triumph T100 and looking at a W800 2015, however the drum brake makes me wonder if it's a good option? Cheers from Australia!

[@Darkvisor]

I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my video =) Honestly I have never had any problems when it comes to drum brakes on bikes so I don't think it would be a problem at all. I think the Kawasaki is a fine choice so don't worry about the brakes. Thanks for watching mate!

[@silverhathacker]

I have the 2022 version. put 5800 miles on it by now. love this thing so much.

Beautiful bike! The older ones with chrome look so much better than the new black-ware ones. If I ever exchange my 1980 SR 500, it will be into either a W650 or a W800.

[@Darkvisor]

Thanks for watching my video and sharing your opinion

[@r_v_g]

I don't have one.......yet. as soon as I have my license, I'll buy one of those. Or maybe the W650. Equally cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@Darkvisor]

w650's are also cool. One of my very first videos on my channel was of a w650: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHexZZimfbSDorssi=Ldrc4EmNcaLgJu8C thanks for watching

[@KariLappi]

I have w650 model 2000 silver / blue. It is very good. Real retro.

I am afraid, this is my last bike.

[@RVRCloset]

Really nice looking bike, sound is a bit weak?

[@Darkvisor]

Most bikes sounds weak and/or boring. But I think it would sound better and give a little more power with a slip-on or other pipes 👌😎 Thanks for watching
