The highly accessible 233cc retro sport Kawasaki W230 will continue into 2027.
Since its arrival, the machine has established itself as an authentic modern classic in the A2 European licence category.
Having been part of the Kawasaki family for over half a century, the W230 upholds a long tradition, and with a rider friendly weight, and seat height, it now widens the experience to even more motorcyclists.

Careful consideration has been given to capture the pleasant, rumbling engine character afforded by the 233 cm3 air-cooled 4-stroke SOHC single cylinder engine. Thanks to linear power delivery and ample torque throughout the rev range, especially in the low- to mid-rpm range, the W230 will sit well in the 2027 Kawasaki range offering comfortable acceleration with a pleasant pulsating sensation, which is further bolstered by an internal engine balancer for smooth overall acceleration. And to heighten the senses, the exhaust note is fine-tuned to produce a deep bass sound and pulsing sensation when accelerating.
The rider-friendly engine character is complemented by a compact, lightweight chassis offering both comfortable cruising plus light, predictable handling and styling that speaks to the heart of anyone who appreciates classic motorcycles. The W230’s looks continue the W series’ proud tradition of elegant styling and proportions with numerous present-day touches contributing to a well-rounded personality.
To make the W230 light and to facilitate handling for a wide range of riders, the frame is slim, compact and lightweight making the machine highly accessible for both new and returning riders, while details like a classic seat design, steel fenders, teardrop fuel tank, retro meters and spoked wheels contribute to their timeless beauty and an authentic feel that riders notice immediately.
Appealing to the unquenchable appetite for retro style machines with modern engineering and build quality, the W230 will sit proudly alongside a comprehensive variety of machines in the 2027 Kawasaki range assured of their modern classic status.
The 2027 W230 arrives in August and will be available in Ebony, priced at £4,654
