2013 Kawasaki W800 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Kawasaki for the classic motorcycle segment, the 2013 Kawasaki W800 utilizes a 773 cc (47.2 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46.9 HP (34.3 kW) at 6,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 60 Nm (44.3 lb-ft) at 6,100 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 60.7 HP per liter and a 400 rpm working window between peak torque (6,100 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 measures 217 kg (478 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.22 HP/kg (4.63 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.
