Kawasaki has shared a teaser of an upcoming motorcycle that will be showcased at India Bike Week 2023. According to some reports, it could be an updated version of the W175.



It has been reported that the upcoming Kawasaki W175 is likely to get several cosmetic changes, including alloy wheels shod with tubeless tyres and new colours.

The Kawasaki W175 was launched in September last year. The retro-styled bike is powered by a 177cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 12.9 BHP @ 7,500 rpm and 13.2 Nm @ 6,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox.

The bike features conventional telescopic fork suspension at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear. Braking is handled by a combination of a 270 mm disc at the front and a drum brake at the rear, supported by single-channel ABS.

Trust the Japanese marques to throw cold water on any excitement. Why would anyone buy this when there are multiple better looking, better performing options from other brands.

There was talk about this being the Eliminator 450 but given the way that the 400cc market has exploded, the market for that at over 5L ex showroom is very limited.

Bikes like this and the Yamaha FZ-X make one think that the manufacturers will take customers for a ride if better options are not available. Who'll buy this expensive machine that makes less than 13 bhp?
