2025 Kawasaki W230 ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Kawasaki's motorcycle lineup, the 2025 Kawasaki W230 ABS pairs a 250 cc engine architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 67.0 x 66.0mm with a 9.0:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the W230 ABS measures 315.2 kg (695 lbs) wet (curb).
