Five years with my W800 as an in-town commuter and I couldn't be happier with it. It is like riding to work on a work of art.

@brianvanwyngaarden9486

W800, nice balanced looking machine. Classy.

@T30-z5w

I bought a used 2022 W800 in 2023.  Liked it but I was hungry for a sportier bike so I bought a new Z900RS in 2024.  I like them both. They are retro but have different characteristics.

@samchisolm8713

I couldn't make up my mind, so I got a W800 cafe and a Z900rs SE.  They are two different experiences, to be sure.  I just knew that whichever bike I chose,  I would also be missing what the other bike had to offer.

@seaninness334

I'm a soon (ish?) to be owner of a Z900rs. I appreciate posting a recent review when so many other bikes are getting tons of attention for new and shiny (expensive?) tech.

@herrtomas6729

Hi Peter  - nice bikes again

@ComfyDadShoes

I’d honestly take it in the standard z900 trim. I love how upright they made it. For a while I really wanted a W800 in cardinal red, but then I discovered Adv’s. Still a gorgeous bike though.

@BlackArroToons

Cool motorcycles! Nice comparisons.

@dimitristselikis5525

Kawasaki nailed it with the RS line of motorcycles, great blend of retro and current. I personally would love seeing a four cylinder 400cc addition in the RS line up.

@stanleylawson9015

Excellent review be the W800 for me but do like the Z900rs too

@paulstanley3265

Nice review. I have still not seen a w 800 we must not get to many in the USA

@captaindanield5827

Love my W650 (2001)

@dgordon130

W.  True retro, but you must love the old British twins.  If you do perfect.

@craigoverall5753

Z900rs every day.

@alq1967

I love the W800!!!

@thepodbaydoorshal

The old w800 halogen headlights are marvellous! I have a few niggles about the bike but the headlights are definitely not one of them. Nice broad spread of light and a lengthy throw. In fact they’re better than the LEDs on my previous Triumph Bonneville. The main beam can be seen from Mars! Totally emphatically disagree with you there! 😂

@onppa_

In the US, the environmental standard is not Euro 5+ from this year? Still Euro5?? Also Z900rs is Euro5 yet. Is't it?

@joh8379

There are a lot of bikes like th w800. For instance the Triumph Bonneville mosle rang, several Royal Enfields, the BSA 650  to name a view.

@Barcelo86

Lovely wine red Zed. Have you experienced any throttle issues with yours?

@ginoasci

How much ?
