The Kawasaki W230 for 2025 is a retro-styled motorcycle that pays homage to the classic W series, which began with the 1965 650-W1. It is the latest addition to this lineup, joining the W800 in Kawasaki's retro offerings. The W230 is powered by a 233cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that delivers a smooth and comfortable ride. The engine is designed to provide ample torque in the low to mid-range, making it ideal for city riding and relaxed cruising. The bike's lightweight chassis and low seat height make it accessible to a wide range of riders, including those who are new to motorcycling or returning to the hobby. The W230's styling is inspired by the classic motorcycles of the past, with a teardrop fuel tank, spoked wheels, and a comfortable, upright riding position.
