2012 W800 Special Edition

Kawasaki first announced the W800 Special Edition at the beginning of this year, but it was destined to be available only in Japan.



Now that situation looks set to change, because it’s being introduced to Europe as a 2012 model.

Distinguishing the Special Edition are several cosmetic changes, which comprise a matt black exhaust system, Ebony paintwork, a unique tank emblem, black-finish engine parts and some rather dazzling gold anodised wheel rims.



To go for the full retro café racer effect, buyers can choose a single seat unit, bikini fairing and tapered exhaust from the accessories list.

Technically there are no differences, which means power comes from the usual 773 cc, air cooled, parallel-twin engine that produces 47 bhp (35 kW / 48 PS) and 60 Nm (44 lb/ft) of torque.



A UK price for the 2012 Kawasaki W800 Special Edition has yet to be revealed.
