The Kawasaki W800 is one of those bikes that doesn’t get nearly the same amount of love as most other retro-style bikes in the market today. First introduce in 2011, the W800 is considered the successor to the W650, a similarly constructed model that Kawasaki built from 1999 to 2007.
This year, Kawasaki is once again rolling out the W800. Sadly, we’re not going to see it anytime soon. That’s because the company is only releasing the retro-styled machine in Japan. Weep with me now, fellas, because unless we go buy this model in Japan, it’s unlikely that any of them will head to the US anytime soon.
Should somebody think of doing just that, now’s the best time to remind everyone that Kawasaki isn’t just keeping the W800 Special Edition in Japan, it’s also only producing 300 units of the bike.
Hard enough as it is to spot a Kawasaki W800 in the US, the sheer number of units Kawasaki is making available will also make it a difficult “spot” over there in Japan.
