Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kawasaki W175 Street is a unique offering in the Indian motorcycle market, appealing to those who value nostalgia and a pure riding experience over raw performance. While it may not be the best choice for speed enthusiasts, this bike excels in comfort and everyday usability. The 177cc single-cylinder engine, though not powerful, provides a smooth and refined ride, especially in the lower and mid-range revs. The retro-inspired design, with its simple and functional aesthetics, is a standout feature, and the bikes handling and stability, particularly in city traffic and twisty roads, are commendable. However, the high price tag of Rs 1.35 lakh (ex-showroom) and some shortcomings in build quality and features might deter some buyers. For those who prioritize the joy of riding and a distinctive look, the W175 Street is a compelling option, but it may not be the best value for money for everyone.

Price

The Kawasaki W175 Street comes with a price tag of Rs 1.35 lakh (ex-showroom), which is on the higher side compared to other 150cc to 160cc motorcycles available in the Indian market. On-road prices can vary depending on the state and local taxes, but in cities like Mumbai, the on-road price can go up to nearly Rs 2 lakh. This lofty price makes the W175 Street a niche product, appealing primarily to hardcore Kawasaki fans or those who are willing to pay a premium for its unique retro charm and riding experience. While the price may seem steep, it reflects the exclusivity and the specific market segment this bike targets.

Kawasaki W175 Street on road price is Rs 1.55 lakh in Delhi, Rs 1.61 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 1.57 lakh in Kolkata and Rs 1.59 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest Kawasaki dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 26 June 2024 01:48 PM Speculation suggests that the updates seen in the Indonesian market for the Kawasaki W175, including new color options and variant line-ups, might make their way to India. However, Kawasaki has not officially confirmed this. If these updates do come to India, it could further boost the bikes popularity. I think it would be a good move to bring these updates to the Indian market to keep the model fresh.

Monday, 11 December 2023 06:57 PM The prices of the Kawasaki W175 have been cut by up to Rs 25,000 for the 2024 model year. The standard W175 is now priced from Rs 1.22 lakh, making it more competitive in the market. This price reduction, combined with new color options, should attract more buyers. I believe this move will help Kawasaki gain more market share in the entry-level segment.

Saturday, 09 December 2023 11:58 AM Kawasaki has updated the color options for the W175 in India, introducing new shades for the 2024 model year. The W175 Street now comes in additional color finishes, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. The mechanical specifications remain unchanged, with the bike still powered by a 177 cc engine. I think the new colors will make the bike more appealing to potential buyers.

Saturday, 09 December 2023 08:41 AM The Kawasaki W175 Street was showcased at the India Bike Week 2023, highlighting its modern classic design. The bike features a heat shield, which was added based on feedback from riders. It also retains the analog-digital instrument cluster and a 12-liter fuel tank. I believe the heat shield is a practical addition that will improve the riding experience.

Friday, 08 December 2023 07:02 PM Kawasaki has launched the 2024 Kawasaki W175 Street in India at the India Bike Week 2023, priced at Rs 1.35 lakh. This new variant features alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, along with new paint finishes. The bike retains the same 177 cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 13 PS and 13.2 Nm of torque. I think the addition of alloy wheels and tubeless tyres is a great upgrade for this model.

Ex Showroom Price vs On Road Price	Ex-Showroom Price is the Manufacturing Cost of the vehicle + Dealer/Seller Profit + GST (Goods and Service Tax) + Transportation Charges (from the manufacturing plant to the dealership). On the other hand, the On-Road Price is the actual cost you pay to the dealership to make the vehicle legal to run on the roads. It includes Ex-Showroom Price in your city + RTO Charges (Vehicle Registration) + One Time Road Tax + Insurance Charges. The On-Road Price also includes some optional things like if you opt for Genuine Accessories and Extended Warranty while buying a vehicle. Please note that the On-Road Price varies a lot across different states in India due to different percentage for the State Registration Charges.
