Kawasaki refreshed their lineup with the new W800 model. Together, with a well known W650, Kawasaki is targeting the vintage/classic/retro market. Both models are successful, and the W800, with it’s parallel twin engine and evocative styling, already proved to be a hit the Europe. So, what do Kawasaki do, in such a position. They release a beautiful sportier version,

It’s called W800 Café Style, and it differs from the standard version by clearly displaying it’s racing soul: aerodynamic fairing and solo seat, are the most obvious changes, but also change to the frame and wheels color while the crankcase gets the blacked-out treatment. This creation is worthy of parking in front of an Ace Cafe, without sticking too much from the rest of the fine English machinery.
