Kawasaki Estrella 175 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.

Thursday, 01 June 2017 09:24 PM The Kawasaki Estrella 175, part of the W range, lacks Euro4 emissions certifications, which is why it has been withdrawn from the European market. However, it is expected to perform well in South East Asian regions like Thailand and Indonesia. The bikes classic design and affordable pricing make it an attractive option for those seeking a retro-style motorcycle. I think this strategy of targeting specific markets could help Kawasaki maintain its presence globally.
