Black is a beautiful contrast for the Kawasaki W800 SE Black Edition. This latest form of Kawasaki's retro delivers classic motorcycling without much of the chrome, or the pain.
The 773cc fuel injected engine, with its gear-driven overhead cam and multi-valve head provides relaxed performance and fuel-efficiency. All whilst the ghost of BSA wafts past your subconsious.
The W800 is all the more wonderful all black, with lashes of crinkle, polished, matte, and chrome finishes. Indeed the finish needs a mention here. Some may question the black pipes, and elect for custom ones. However, as it stands, Kawasaki have nailed the concept of the classic parallel twin integrating modern elements of design without losing the feel of the original machine - which is one hell of a balancing act.
The cosmetic details are outstanding, from the wire spoked, black anodised rims, crinkle black pipes, black chrome tank badge, classic instruments and old school switchblocks which all harken back to the days of yore. Passers by most often accusing it of being a resto, or a British bike of some kind. All achieved without leaking a drop of oil. So authentic in many ways, with the charm of yesteryear, yet with the convenience and performance of a modern motorcycle, this black jack, could just be the ace of spades.

Can't wait for the comparison to the other bikes in this class. Royal enfield, Triumph, that new Yamaha they've come out with, and maybe even a Ccw misfit?

Yeah just found out they made this line........but not sold here in the states. WTF?! There are plenty of us that love this style of bike. Hopefully soon enough, because all the other Japanese manufactures seem to realize this and are offering them here(Honda CB 1100, Yamaha SCR 950/xsr 900/sr 400 "new for 2017", Suzuki Tu250x "ok it is small but hopefully they will also offer a larger). Plus of course we get the Triumphs, BMW, Ducati and even the Royal Enfields. Yes I know we Americans are needy.

Because everyone buys the street twin? Because it's a Kawasaki? Why would you buy a street twin? It doesn't look as nice as the Kawa and sure as hell is not as reliable (I have owned Triumphs, nice but not the best built bikes in the world).

Yogesh Kumar simply because the w800 looks more retro and is every bit as reliable as a Japanese bike should be Have you ever owned a triumph yourself?

This bike should have a 270 or 315 degree Crankshaft .. then it would have a Cool exhaust note . and have an all white colour option . Hope Kawasaki is listening ..

Nothing cooler sounding than a 360 degree parallel twin. The sound of 1950's and 60's when the British motorcycles ruled the roads and the race tracks globally lad!
