2026 W230
The newest member of the W family nods to the past but rides full throttle into the future. With design inspired by the 1965 650-W1 model, the all-new W230 motorcycle packs a modern punch with Kawasaki's proven 233cc fuel-injected 4-stroke engine. The original icon continues with a light weight, low seat height, and friendly power character that opens '60s design to more riders than ever before.
