TOP FEATURES
Highly Rigid Semi-Double Cradle Frame
Tuning of the highly rigid and highly durable frame contributes to the W175’s unhurried handling character. A product of both function and form, the semi- double cradle configuration also complements the retro styling, its simple design lending itself to customization.
177 cc Single Cylinder : Highly Durable & Easy to Use
Powered by a 177 cc Single cylinder, the W175 offers a displacement advantage over 150cc-class.

Befitting its W moniker, the W175 features a traditional, simple design Kawasaki’s other authentic retro models. And with a quality of materials and the fit-and-finish of a larger-class machine, the W175 stands out from the crowd.
Bright Multi-Reflector Headlamp
The 60W headlamp is as bright as that of larger-class models, outshining rival models (which feature 35W headlamps).The bright headlamp offers excellent night-time visibility
17” Spoke Wheels
Befitting a retro model, the W175 features 17” spoke wheels front and rear. The tyre tread pattern also contributes to the bike’s retro looks.
Suspension Delivers Comfort, Fun Riding
A ø30 mm telescopic fork at the front is backed up by dual shocks at the rear. The front and rear suspension work with the rigid frame, providing good shock absorption for a comfortable ride while offering firm enough damping to enable fun riding. Fork boots protect the fork inner tubes, and contribute to the W175’s retro looks – as does the dual shock rear suspension
Classic Peashooter-Style Muffler
The W175’s peashooter-style muffler contributes to the retro image. The exhaust’s curved header pipe complements the design of the engine. And the muffler’s clear, crisp exhaust note adds to rider enjoyment.
Semi - digital RetroStyle Speedometer
