Kawasaki is about to reveal a replacement for the W650, produced until 2006, which was a replica of the classic Triumph Bonneville. The new bike will be called W800 and will have a very similar framework, but will rear disc brake and power around 60 hp. The original W650 has always been popular among preparers, particularly the Japanese, but was always hampered by its parallel twin engine of 49 hp. Kawasaki does not reveal how much will be requested by the W800. In the 70s, the legendary Triumph Bonneville model had competitors like Ducati and Moto Guzzi V7 GT.
It seems that the legendary Triumph Boneneville will have a competitor. Internet service Moto-Station has published information on the show next season’s new insignia on motorcycle Kawasaki W800. Jednoślad would be the successor of W650 model, production of which ended several years ago. Answers to the question whether the W800 will be a modern vehicle, only stylized retro, or there is drilled a 650-weaves, for the moment we do not know. Probably the card will be discovered at this year’s trade fair in Cologne, which will start sixth October.
