The 2023 Kawasaki W175 is a retro-styled commuter that balances classic looks with modern functionality. It’s powered by a 177 cc SOHC single-cylinder engine producing 13 PS and 13.2 Nm, paired with EFI and electric start—a notable upgrade from earlier carburetted models. Built on a sturdy steel double-cradle frame with telescopic front forks and dual rear shocks, it delivers a smooth and predictable ride. Braking includes a 270 mm front disc with ABS and 110 mm rear drum. Lightweight at 135 kg, with a 12 L tank and ~110 km/h top speed, it’s fun for city cruising and weekend nostalgia. Semi-digital instrumentation and halogen lights complete the authentic charm.
