Since 2011 Kawasaki have produced their W 800 (the W650 was discontinued in 2006). Hear what a real owner thinks. What is it? Well, it's sheer nostalgia wrapped up in a modern format. This walk around review highlights the features of the bike in summary.

The review is by an actual owner not a journalist. So it's an honest but realistic and pleasant review of this quaint motorcycle. It doesn't get 10 out of 10 but only due to it's sewing machine quietness, which some would see as an asset.

It's June, it's sunny, it's time for cricket on the village green, get the 'W' out of the garage, it's nostalgia time folks! By the way you custom boys, this bike rocks, if you have limitless time and money this bike lends itself to serious custom work.
