Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kawasaki W175 is a charming retro motorcycle that offers a unique riding experience, especially for those who appreciate simplicity and classic design. While it may not impress with its power figures, producing 13 HP at 7,500 rpm and 13.2 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, it makes up for this with its effortless handling and comfortable ride. The bikes light weight of 135 kg and a seat height of 790 mm make it highly approachable, even for less experienced riders. However, the bikes price point, nearing 1.5 lakh rupees ex-showroom, might be a deterrent for some, especially considering the lack of modern features and the somewhat unimpressive top-end performance. Despite this, the W175s solid build quality, smooth engine, and classic aesthetics make it a compelling choice for those seeking a laid-back, retro riding experience.

Price

The Kawasaki W175 is priced in the range of Rs. 1.22 to 1.35 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other charges, the price can go up to around Rs. 1.80 to 1.90 lakh, depending on the state and any additional taxes applicable. For instance, in Telangana, there is an additional tax for owning more than one vehicle, which can increase the on-road price. The pricing is on the higher side compared to other motorcycles in its class, but it reflects the bikes premium build quality and the unique retro experience it offers. If you are willing to pay a premium for a classic, hassle-free riding experience, the W175 might be worth considering.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 07 February 2024 09:19 PM The 2024 Kawasaki W 175 Street, essentially the Kawasaki Estrella 175 in some markets, has been updated with alloy wheels, which provide better rigidity and tubeless tires for easier puncture repairs. The bike also features improved ergonomics, including a heel plate on the footpeg, though it could benefit from this addition on both sides. The pricing has been adjusted, making it more competitive, with the new colors and design making it less commuter-like. I think this update makes the W 175 Street a more compelling option in its segment.

Wednesday, 06 December 2017 05:56 PM Kawasaki has expanded its W range, targeting Asia, particularly South East Asia, with the W175 model. This bike features a 177cc engine, a 5-speed transmission, and produces 13PS at 7500rpm and 13.2Nm of torque at 6000rpm. The classic design stays true to its retro roots, making it appealing for those looking for a vintage-style motorcycle. I believe this focus on Asian markets could help Kawasaki gain a stronger foothold in regions like India.

Wednesday, 20 September 2017 07:54 AM The Kawasaki Estrella 175 is set for its Indonesia launch, featuring a retro-styled design similar to its elder sibling, the Estrella 250. The bike includes elements like a rounded headlamp, single piece seat, and pea shooter exhaust, giving it a classic appeal. It is powered by a 175cc, single cylinder, two valve, DOHC engine, though specific power and torque figures are not disclosed. I think the classic styling could make this bike a hit in markets that appreciate retro designs.

Saturday, 22 July 2017 05:30 AM There are rumors that Kawasaki might introduce a 175cc engine motorcycle, potentially named the Kawasaki Estrella 175 or Kawasaki W175, to compete with Royal Enfield in the Indian market. This bike would need to meet stricter emission norms and could offer a unique blend of classic styling and simple engineering. I believe such a bike could create healthy competition in the market, pushing innovation and product quality.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 06:01 AM The Kawasaki W175 is reported to offer a mileage of around 45 kmpl, which is quite respectable given its 177cc engine and the riding style it is designed for. This mileage is suitable for city commuting and casual rides on country roads, where the bikes strengths in ease of handling and comfort come into play. The fuel injection system, which is a requirement to meet BS6 emission norms in India, helps in optimizing fuel efficiency. While the mileage might not be the best in its class, it is adequate and aligns well with the bikes overall character of providing a relaxed and enjoyable riding experience.
