Kawasaki W800 Scrambler by Earnshaws

This brand new air-cooled parallel twin Kawasaki W800 is modified by British Dealer Earnshaws, Earnshaws says the increase in performance of this modified W800 over the 48HP, 475 pound (wet) stocker is “staggering!.”

Earnshaws certainly aren’t the first shop to offer dealer specials, good condition specials from the 1960’s command good prices today. That added exclusivity adds value, so they can become an appreciating future classic.

The list of modifications is quite subtle but includes a set of hand built chrome silencers, wider bars, alloy mudguards, a single seat and knobbly tyres. Let’s not forget the de-badged and resprayed tank; there’s no new fangled vinyl lettering on there, the Kawasaki logo and pinstriping are all sprayed on - there’s no less than 15 coats of paint and lacquer on there. Suffice to say the quality and depth of the paintwork is fantastic. There are other colours and options available to suit the customer’s requirements (and budget).
