Like the W800 Street and W800 Cafe, the W800 is a motorcycle that appeals to a wide range of riders, offering easy handling and a high level of craftsmanship (kodawari). But of thethree modernised retro models, the W800 is the truest to the looks and feel of the original W, allowing riders to understand the pleasure and pride of riding a machine from the 60's. With the arrival of the W800, riders in search of a taste of history can now enjoy three flavours of W.
