Overview
The Kawasaki W800 Cafe Style is a naked motorcycle from the W 800 family, produced for 2012. Its air-cooled, four-stroke vertical twin displaces 773 cm³ and delivers 60 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm; it weighs 217 kg.
Peak torque arrives at low engine speed, supporting relaxed acceleration without needing to rev the engine hard. The 790 mm seat height sets a moderate reach, while 124 mm of ground clearance favors smoother roads over rough terrain; its 15.1-liter tank gives it a defined fuel capacity, and the rear suspension offers five-position spring-preload adjustment.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low-rev torque
The 60 Nm peak at 2,500 rpm favors usable pull at modest engine speeds.
Adjustable rear preload
Five preload positions let riders tailor the rear suspension setup to different loads or preferences.
Fuel injection
Fuel injection meters fuel electronically rather than relying on a carburetor.
Things to consider
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment.
Rear drum brake
The rear uses a drum brake rather than a disc.
Limited ground clearance
The 124 mm clearance can make uneven roads and larger obstacles harder to negotiate.
