The Kawasaki W series was first introduced in 1966 based on a 500cc BSA A7 that was built in Japan under license. Aimed at the north American market it posed a direct threat to the British bikes of that time which heavily dominated USA motorcycle sales. Production ended in 1974.

The series was resurrected in 1999 the W650, which won much praise. With high build quality and great riding characteristics it soon became popular with people looking for a retro styled bike. The W800 followed in 2011 - a bevel drive 773cc parallel twin with about  50hp known for its smooth power delivery with the same Japanese build quality.

This example registered 3rd Dec. 2011 has had just 3 owners in total and covered 22,000 miles, although the condition would suggest half that milage. A well cared for and well presented example it is supplied with 3 keys, owners handbook and MoT until July 2026. 

A great retro middle weight bike that’s ready to go.
