Overview
The Kawasaki W800 Special Edition is a naked motorcycle produced from 2020 through 2024. For 2024, its 773.0 cm³ parallel-twin engine makes 47 hp (35 kW) and 62.9 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm; wet weight is 225 kg.
Peak torque arrives at low rpm, so the engine can deliver useful pull without needing to be revved hard. The 790 mm seat height can help riders reach the ground at stops, while the 225 kg wet weight may take more effort to manage at walking speed. Fuel consumption is 4.22 L/100 km, and the 15.1-liter tank gives a calculated range of about 358 km; rear-shock spring preload is adjustable.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Low-rpm torque
The 62.9 Nm peak at 2,500 rpm supports relaxed acceleration without frequent high revs.
ABS on both wheels
ABS at the front and rear helps control braking when traction is limited.
Assist and slipper clutch
The slipper function helps calm the rear wheel during hard downshifts.
Things to consider
Substantial wet weight
At 225 kg ready to ride, the W800 can demand more effort during parking and other low-speed maneuvers.
Chain final drive
The chain needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.
