Kawasaki W175 vs Yamaha FZ-X Comparison

The Kawasaki W175 offers a modern classic package with a smooth and refined engine and very good road manners. It looks the part of a neo-retro roadster and with its light weight, is a nimble handler which is quite appreciable.

It's a design, which, in a way, feels incomplete, rather than being generally attractive. That is its biggest weakness, and to us, the FZ-X comes across as a well-rounded package, but still doesn't quite cut it as being "special," like the first Yamaha FZ-16 did, more than a decade ago. The Yamaha FZ-X offers an interesting proposition. The idea is great, and will probably start the first of the crossovers in the 150-200 cc segment.
