I am a big classic bike fan and the Kawasaki w800 is the only bike I'd buy the train being it's classic to the core and it's a Kawasaki so it'll keep going on for years to come Good walk around review of the bike mate enjoy the bike and I wish you many more happy and safe miles ahead 👍

It's embarrassing watching myself after all these years, but funnily enough it's still a bike that works for me.

Good review of the W800, it was interesting to note what you said about the side stand, I actually thought that myself when I purchased one myself until I realized that all you needed to do is lift the foot peg up with the heel of your boot and it's no problem at all.Having done about 10000km now I can only concur with most of the things you said except about the cruising and the mirrors other than that your pretty much spot on.

I thought it was? Quite popular now in the uk even got the cafe racer black version too.

Apologies for the late reply the mirrors themselves are okay but there is a vibration problem with them when the bike is in 4th gear at around about 3000 rpms which is about 70kmph which I must admit is a bit annoying but i have found if you put the bike into 5th gear that fixes it.As for cruising I find it one of the most comfortable bikes I have ever ridden,the ribbed seat is just brilliant ridden 400 km no problems no sore butt or back you will get about 270 km out of a tank. Cheers Chips

Very nice review! I'm gonna buy that beauty very soon, and I was searchig for a top box... That one you have is really what I was looking for!!! can you please tell me which brand it is and where can I find it? Are there saddleboxes that fit W800, same style as this top box? Thank you

Thanks for the info on the foot peg. What's your view on the mirrors and cruising?

I wish this was released in the US D:

Hi, do you think that the w800 would make a good beginner bike? as first bike ever. Thanks.

You mentioned that the bike is buzzy to the point that makes mirrors useless. That would be a deal-breaker to many bikers. Thanks for mentioning it! You forgot to mention a great feature that many will appreciate (real bikers), which is a CENTER-STAND! Not many bikes have it these days. For some reason you chose not to mention the gearbox performance. For those who commute, a silky-smooth gearbox is more important than a comfortable seat or great looks of a bike. I assume it's loud and clunky.! I'll buy a Gladius instead and design my own center stand.

To All those mindless idiots who keep putting idiotic offensive comments. Please note the following: I WILL both report and remove your comments. I will also block you from my channel so please don't do it.

Just curious about the fuel consumption, which in the tests I've read is given at 50 odd MPG. Pretty abysmal I would have thought given the level of performance- my old 750 Honda could almost manage this with a little restraint!
