Kawasaki w800 The Street Tracker
Kawasaki launches a special edition of W800 in Europe
The retro bikes have gained space in the market, especially in Europe where the Kawasaki W800 was launched in 2010. For 2012 the model won a special version, all in black matte with golden paint on the rim.
As for the technical specifications, The W800 Special Edition continues in the same way, with a 4-stroke 48CV engine of maximum power at 6,500 rpm. With 19-inch front wheels and rear 18, the W800 has disc brake on the front and the drum in the rear.
The happy Europeans can also turn it into a coffee Racer with a set of accessories (which cost 491 euros) and single seat (which costs 369 euros).
Pedro:
The bikes in the retro style are very cool that there is no doubt.
But what the companies manufacturers of these models really like in them is the profit that they give them..... they produce a cheap bike to build after all the project is of a motorcycle of the years 70 and profit upon them with the values of today.
Tempting, isn't it?
Yes, except for an electronic injection here and a disc brake over there they're the same as the old 500 Four or super-inflated Norton bikes.
SZK:
Pedro, you're wrong. The only remaining part of the 70 years in today's retro style models designs. Everything else is as modern as any other 21st-century project. Nor could it be different, because the products marketed today need to comply with stringent environmental standards that were despised at that time. And if you check the prices of 40 years ago and correct by inflation (in any country of reference), you will see that today's prices are kept or even lower, at absolute values. Although they look old, they are modern products, much more sophisticated, for similar or inferior prices.
