2019 Kawasaki W800 Cafe Base

2019 Kawasaki W800 Cafe

• THE ORIGINAL ICON

Iconic 1966 W1 heritage runs deep in the all-new 2019 Kawasaki W800 CAFE retro motorcycle. The spirit of the original W1 has inspired the inception of such legendary machines as the Kawasaki Z1 and Ninja H2™. Preserving the authenticity of the W1, the W800 CAFE has been modernized for trailblazers who prefer to ride to the throaty roar of timeless performance.

The W800 CAFE pays homage to the original icon with café-racer styling while incorporating modern technology and handling. Ride in comfort with a clubman-style handlebar and a two-person café seat while a café-racer front cowl completes the retro racer image.

Features may include:

• CAFÉ-RACER STYLE FRONT COWL

A café-racer-image front cowl helps deflect wind while adding to the vintage aesthetic.

• CLUBMAN-STYLE HANDLEBAR

The forward-leaning clubman-style handlebar offers a sporty, racing-inspired riding position.

• BLACK ALUMITE RIMS

Lightweight aluminum spoked wheels are resistant to corrosion and feature rims finished in black alumite for a timeless look.

• CAFÉ-RACER SEAT

A stylish two-person café seat is designed for comfort and sporty good looks.

• BLACKED-OUT ENGINE

The silver bevel-gear cover on the blacked-out engine draws attention to the engine’s unique design while adding a quality accent.

• Iconic Air-Cooled vertical twin engine

An air-cooled fuel-injected vertical twin engine preserves the striking visual impact of the original 1966 W1 model. The iconic bevel-gear-driven cam adds beauty to the cylinder head while reinforcing the engine's classic appearance,
