The retro-styled Kawasaki W230 will be making its UK debut next year, arriving in dealers from January.
However, fans attending Motorcycle Live will be able to see it early, as the bike will be on display on the Kawasaki stand.
The newest member of the W family nods to the past but rides full throttle into the future. With design inspired by the 1965 650-W1 model, the all-new W230 motorcycle packs a modern punch with Kawasaki’s proven 233cc fuel-injected 4-stroke engine. The original icon continues with a lightweight, low seat height, and friendly power character that opens up ’60s design to more riders than ever before.
The bike will be arriving in January in limited numbers and will be priced at £4,654.
Those attending Motorcycle Live over the next nine days will be able to see the machine from tomorrow, with the W230 on display alongside the entire 2026 Kawasaki range.
Craig Watson, Sales and Marketing Manager at Kawasaki Motors UK:
“The W230 is a fantastic bike that we are excited to start selling in Kawasaki dealers from January. With only a small number of bikes arriving next year, customers will have to be quick to secure theirs.”
