Reviews about Kawasaki W800:
Greetings to all. I want to share my impressions of this motorcycle, which I became the owner of this year. This is not my first motorcycle and my impressions of it are therefore quite conscious and balanced. I myself am a fan of classic motorcycles. Before making a choice, I looked closely at potential candidates for quite a long time and these included Triumphs (Bonnevilles) and Kawasakis (W650) and the very exotic Motoguzzi. What held me back in the acquisition was, of course, money in the first place. Well, God bless them. One way or another, it coincided that at the end of last season information appeared about a “new” model in the Kawasaki line - the Kawasaki W800 retrobike. Well, then I fell for him. When I got acquainted with the technical data on it, I completely realized that it was mine. In March I purchased this motorcycle from the office. Kawasaki dealer in St. Petersburg and I assume that I am probably perhaps the first owner of this model in Russia. Motorcycles (like the entire class of these motorcycles), of course, are not for everybody. in the good sense of the word and therefore, it will not be particularly popular in our country (which naturally does not bother me at all). The appearance is simply superb. Everything is done with super high quality and soundness. Only metal and high-quality chrome. If you compare it with Triumph, then perhaps it will even surpass it in this sense (my opinion). :blush2: The engine is just super! Injection of course adds a completely new quality to this motorcycle (the previous model was carb). Excellent peak torque already at 2000-2300 rpm. min., which makes for very comfortable movement in a reasonable speed range (up to 120) and at lower speeds it’s just a delight. Potentially capable of ventilating the brain (maximum speed is about 180, although, of course, it is not 100% for this). Minimum vibrations and quite pleasant sound. The brakes are sufficient for a calm, balanced driving style (although, of course, there are never too many of them). Good light (solidly good). Good place for a passenger and footrests for him. In general, the motorcycle can be described as a very well made (I mean all components), comfortable motorcycle for long-distance trips and for daily trips. From a technical point of view, no exotics, only time-tested solutions in high-quality implementation from excellent materials. So far only positive impressions, but we'll see.
Almost a year and a half later.
I will express a certain idea that is IMPORTANT in my opinion, which (I think) will be useful for those who are considering purchasing this model.
When thinking about buying this motorcycle, you should clearly understand and imagine that any dynamic (by modern standards) riding will be impossible in principle, even for a short time. Bonneville (for example), in this sense, is significantly preferable. We can only talk about style, ease of control and comfort (taking into account the class of the model and at speeds up to 100). In this situation, Bonneville is not so convincing.
This motorcycle is simply damn beautiful, attractive, and considering it from the point of view of modern technologies and modern technical solutions is completely unacceptable. In fact, he himself (and his technical characteristics) is a reflection of the middle of the last century, only in a modern incarnation, and this is its whole essence. And THIS is exactly what you need to understand and YOU need to be prepared for THIS, especially if this is not your first waste of money. Otherwise, disappointment is inevitable.
It’s easier for beginners (without motorcycle driving experience), for them everything is all over again and for the first time, although especially “gifted” motorcyclists may quickly get bored with it
