2019 Kawasaki W800 to dispatch in India soon

Kawasaki will dispatch the 2019 W800 in India in the coming months. While the retro bike was already on the cards for India in 2016, it was ceased universally around the same time since it didn't meet Euro-IV discharge controls. In any case, Kawasaki divulged a vigorously refreshed form of the bicycle at EICMA 2018 and this is the model that will advance toward our shores in the coming months.

The Kawasaki W800 is a successor the brand's W arrangement bikes that were clones of British vertical-twin standard bikes, as BSAs. Presently, while you can't go out and purchase a fresh out of the plastic new vertical-twin BSA, you will before long have the capacity to purchase a W800 in India. A vertical-twin is basically a parallel-twin with an alternate terminating request, the wrench is 360 degrees (which implies the two cylinders rise and fall together), rather than the conventional 180 degrees ( where one cylinder goes up, the other down) or more the contemporary 270 degrees (seen on the present Triumph current works of art and the Royal Enfield 650 Twins). The distinctive terminating request doesn't just give the cruiser a one of a kind sound, yet additionally, as Kawasaki claims, 'a solid low-mid range torque character'.

Moreover, the bicycle likewise utilizes an old-school slant outfit cam drive, which is a lot of riggings with bended teeth on the crankshaft that turn a propeller shaft running vertically up the correct side of the chamber. This propeller at that point meets another set incline (bended) gears which interface with the camshaft. The framework was broadly utilized in more established Ducatis and will give the W800 an extraordinary personality in the retro bicycle space, despite the fact that, these frameworks are known to deliver a considerable lot of warmth.

The vertical-twin engine in the W800 is a 773cc, air-cooled, fuel-infused, SOHC unit that makes 47.5hp at 6,500rpm and 62.9Nm of torque at 4,800rpm. This stand-out motor in the present age comes matched to a 5-speed gearbox. Presently, while the details may seem disappointing, one needs to comprehend this is the thing that the organization calls a 'genuine' great and not only a retro-styled bicycle with a cutting edge powertrain like in one of the organization's different contributions, the Z900RS.

Unmistakable styling signals incorporate moderate front and back bumpers, with the last not bending downwards, similar to you would commonly connect with an exemplary cruiser. The single seat unit stays level for the pillion and bends downwards for the rider. The state of the tank is oval, much the same as you would anticipate from a bike of this class. Strikingly, the refreshed 2018 onwards demonstrate has discarded all of chrome bits for passed out bits. The twin-unit instrument bunch on the W800 doesn't show much, beside a rev counter and speedometer. It likewise passes up a fuel measure and manages with a save fuel light.

All things considered, the W800 features some current highlights. The fog light on the bicycle is a LED unit. It additionally gets a shoe grip and the extensive 320mm front plate and 270mm back circle come furnished with ABS. Suspension on the bicycle is dealt with by a 41mm adjustable fork and twin safeguards. The wheels, in the mean time, measure 18 creeps at the two finishes.


The W800 is sold in two variations in universal markets – Street and Café; the last highlights a bistro racer-esque cowl around the front lamp and a sportier seat. It is sheltered to accept that Kawasaki will enter the great twin-chamber section in India with the Street. The Café is a nice looking machine and, in the event that it brings it here, it will give the W800 some genuinely necessary uniqueness in a space where the Royal Enfield Twins offer amazing estimating.

The W800 is made in Thailand and will come to India as a CKD. Rivalry to the W800 originates from the Triumph Street Twin and the Royal Enfield 650 models. A sticker price around the Rs 6.5-7 lakh check is reasonable for expect, putting the W800 a decent arrangement over the Kawasaki Vulcan S, which costs Rs 5.48 lakh. Be that as it may, the W800 will sit well beneath the new Triumph Street Twin, which is relied upon to be propelled in India soon at around Rs 8 lakh, and a lot higher than the RE Twins that start at Rs 2.5 lakh.

It merits thinking about that Kawasaki has pulled off focused estimating in the ongoing past for a couple of its models, and given the weight of rivaling the new Royal Enfields, we may simply observe Kawasaki give the W800 a somewhat forceful evaluating, conceivably closer to the Rs 6 lakh stamp or maybe even lower. We hope to see the bicycle go discounted in the coming months, among now and August 2018
