Technical Overview
2017 Kawasaki W800 Final Edition Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Kawasaki's classic motorcycle platform, the 2017 Kawasaki W800 Final Edition relies on a 773 cc (47.2 cu in) air-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 48 HP (35 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 60 Nm (44.3 lb-ft) at 2,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 62.1 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (2,500 rpm) and peak power (6,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the W800 Final Edition measures 217 kg (478 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.52 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,465 mm (57.7 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
