The custom wave has allowed the category to renew itself with enthusiasm, which happily benefiting medium-displacement vehicles. The VN 800 was immediately well illustrated when it arrived on the market. Although hailed as a benchmark, the arrival of competition with the Suzuki Marauder 800 and Honda Shadow 750, not to mention the Yamaha Drag Star 650, could have given him some gray hair.. No worries, the Kawa has beautiful finery. Starting with its engine, flexible and offering good torque. With its extension, it offers its share of sensations and is better than its competitors. But where the VN is most appealing is its design that mimics the post-war Harley style. Big front wheel, imposing fork sleeves, copious mudguards, double saddle and nice tank … It seems to come from American factories. Even the air filter cover looks like it came from a Harley. As this style pleases, you might as well take advantage of it; isn’t it Mr Kawa !?!
