The W 800 will make a comeback more discreet than noticed, but all fans will salute Kawasaki’s gesture. The Euro4 standard kept him away for a while, just that of thinking about it. A small overhaul, the preservation of the essential while changing 90% of the parts, and once the necessary compatibility in pocket, the most classic of Kawa has its little challenge with this Cafe version..
Previously called Cafe Style, this “sport” version of the W 800 allows the vintage roadster to make up itself in a pseudo cafra. The recipe still works as well, mixing the machine with an old-fashioned fork crown, a two-tone single-seater saddle and Clubman specific handlebars. Narrower and lowered, it gives the illusion of holding bracelets and tilting the bust. A cafe-racer is designed with the attitude to appreciate its driving … and to find yourself in a driving position that is not necessarily comfortable.
Also, you have to fart it a bit. With white backgrounds for the counters, a little more chrome than on the Street, milled cooling fins at the cylinder head, black rims, a pair of knee pads, and an emphasis on torque distribution conical.
Last representative of the spirit of the 1966 W1, the W 800 has succeeded in a daring gamble: to bring until today an air-cooled twin cylinder more than nice to look at. The power is committed to remain under the bar of 35 kW, so as to interest the A2 permits. Nothing exceptional, she did not spit more horses before. 48 horses punctuated by the chubby poum-poum of an assumed nostalgia. Sufficient power to walk around, at the pace of the 70s. We can count on a little more technology than at that time, with an LED headlight, ABS, two disc brakes, injection and a digital window in the tachometer.
Kawasaki offers a new chance to the W 800, more than ever in its place in the current vintage movement. She leaves the good offices of power and neo-retro to her cousin Z 900 RS. Its niche destines it more for fighting with the Bonneville Street Cup, Guzzi V7 Racer and Mash TT40. Alas, as for the Street, its high price reserves it to a crush.
