Kawasaki W230

Kawasaki’s retro lightweight W230 shines in showroom

POSTED: 25/02/2026

This is an exciting time of year as the bulk of our brands’ new models arrive in our showroom and join our demo fleet.

Most of our Kawasaki, CFMoto, Royal Enfield and Suzuki demo models are ready to ride this month, along with a couple of KTMs. The rest arrive over the next couple of months.

With lots of new models waiting to be ridden, and the weather warming up as we head into spring, contact our sales team to book your test rides. We published a full list of our 2026 demo bikes, that make up our biggest ever fleet, on the website news section last month.

Meanwhile, a small motorbike has been making a big impression with visitors to our showroom with the arrival of the first of Kawasaki’s new W230 retro lightweight.

Available in limited numbers, it is the latest model to join the fast-growing stable of single-cylinder modern classics.

The metallic matte dark green W230, set off by oodles of chrome, is the only one we’re getting until some 2027 models arrive in the summer so we expect it’ll soon be snapped up at £4,766 on the road.

A homage to the 1965 650-W1 model, the 233cc, four-stroke engine produces 18PS at 7,000rpm but, with a kerb weight of 143kg, it is a lot lighter than some of its rivals.

Jack Grant, our Kawasaki sales specialist, said: “There’s been loads of interest and people asking questions about the W230. It won’t be here for long.”

Another Kawasaki that is selling fast is the updated 2026 Z900RS. It now includes cruise control, up/down quickshifter, ride-by-wire throttle and smartphone connectivity.

We have limited stock of the £11,699 ebony Blackball Edition and £12,949 metallic sparkle black and orange SE. The standard candy tone red version is £11,499.

We’ve also taken delivery of Royal Enfield’s Bear 650 in the lovely new Boardwalk White colour scheme.

KTM’s 990 RC R sportbike arrived but has already been sold.

For those customers who still love a proper paper brochure we also have Kawasaki’s 2026 full line publication in our display unit.
